Real Betis Balompié has signed Takashi Inui, from SD Eibar. The Japanese international has signed a deal until 2021 with the Green and White Club.

Takashi Inui (Omihachiman, Japan, 02/06/1988) made his professional debut in 2007 at Yokohama F. Marinos and later played at Cerezo Osaka in his country. In summer 2011, the player moved to Europe to play at VfL Bochum.

His outstanding performance in the 2011/2012 season called the attention of Eintracht Frankfurt, who signed him in July 2012. Inui spent three years with the ‘Eagles’, playing 87 games, scoring 9 goals and providing 20 assists.

In 2015, after displaying a high level in Germany, the new Real Betis player became the most expensive signing in the history of SD Eibar. During his spell in the Basque team, the Japanese winger has completed three seasons, played 94 matches, scored 11 goals and provided 11 assists.

He has won 25 caps with Japan national team. Takashi Inui has been called up to Japan by coach Akira Nishino to play the 2018 Russia World Cup.
