Yuto Nagatomo (長友 佑都 Nagatomo Yūto?, born 12 September 1986) is a Japanese footballer who plays as a defender for Serie A club Internazionale.

Club career

FC Tokyo

Nagatomo officially signed with FC Tokyo in 2008,[3] while at Meiji. But he made a appearance at J.League Cup as Special Designated Youth Player in 2007. Nagatomo made 84 appearances in his four years at FC Tokyo.

Cesena

In July 2010, Nagatomo was signed on loan by the newly promoted Italian Serie A side A.C. Cesena, where he played the first half of the season as Cesena's starting left back.[4][5] Before moving to Italy, Nagatomo gave a speech to 25,000 supporters just after the match involving F.C. Tokyo and Vissel Kobe on 17 July 2010. After being signed on a permanent deal, Nagatomo was then sold onto Internazionale.

Internazionale

Due to his impressive performances for both Cesena and Japan in the 2011 Asian Cup, he was fully signed by Internazionale in January 2011.[6] But before making any league appearances was sent straight out on loan to Cesena in exchange for Davide Santon also on loan, becoming the first East Asian player to sign for Internazionale.[7][8]

Nagatomo made his debut for Inter wearing the number 55 shirt on 6 February 2011, replacing Wesley Sneijder in the Serie A match against AS Roma, which Inter won 5–3. In the following game, Nagatomo came on as a late substitute against Juventus. Nagatomo then started in both of the following games against Fiorentina and Cagliari.

Nagatomo has shown his versatility by playing right back against Sampdoria on 27 February 2011, and finishing the whole 90 minutes.[9] On 6 March 2011, Nagatomo scored his first goal for Inter in the 5–2 trashing against Genoa from a Kharja assist with a swivel and a finish into the roof of the net.

On 15 March, to show solidarity with his home country in light of the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami which took place the previous week he paraded the Japanese flag (with the writing "You'll Never Walk Alone", a chant of his former team in Tokyo) around the pitch during a Champions League match against Bayern Munich.[10] Inter have drawn German club side Schalke 04 in the quarter-finals of 2010–11 UEFA Champions League. Nagatomo, along with international teammate Atsuto Uchida who plays for Schalke both became the second and third Japanese footballer to play in the quarter-finals of UEFA Champions league (Keisuke Honda was the first playing for CSKA Moscow during 2009–2010 season). After the Serie A season was over, Inter had an agreement with Cesena for making a permanent move for Yuto in a cash plus player exchange deal. Nagatomo was valued €10.95 million,[11] however part of the fee was paid via half of the registration rights of Luca Garritano (€700,000)[11] and Luca Caldirola (€2.5 million). Nagatomo enjoyed his most productive season under Walter Mazzarri, scoring five goals, along with six assists during the 2013-14 season.[12][13]

International career

Nagatomo earned his first international cap on 24 May 2008 in a friendly against Ivory Coast. His first international goal was scored in a friendly against Syria held on 13 November 2008. Nagatomo was also a member of the Japan U-21 team for the 2008 Summer Olympics.
