Attacking Midfielder: Mu Kanazaki (Kashima Antlers)
The Kashima Antlers star netted three goals and provided three assists in August, contributing to a 4-0-1 record for the current J1 leaders and defending champions.
The 28-year-old currently leads the club with nine goals scored, and could yet beat his career-high of 13 in the remaining 10 rounds of the season. While Kanazaki has been left out of the national team for over a year following a bench-side confrontation with former Antlers coach Masatada Ishii, calls for his return to the Samurai Blue are beginning to increase.
