Yuya Kubo.

Remember the name! That’s a player whom people will talk about in the next few years. The 19-year old Japanese had already made flying starts in Swiss Super League with his current club, BSC Young Boys.

Brought to Switzerland as a bright-prospected youngster, the former Kyoto Purple Sanga striker stunned the public of Stade de Suisse de Suisse by his inspiring performance against FC Thun. His 2 goals and one assist overturned the score for Young Boys, from 0-2 behind into a 3-2 victory that put the Bernese on top of the league table for several weeks.
