Itakura set to join Gladbach as Elvedi replacement
The Japanese defender will arrive at Borussia Mönchengladbach to fill the void left by Nico Elvedi's departure to Leeds.
Ko Itakura is heading back to Borussia Mönchengladbach. According to kicker, the Japanese defender will become Nico Elvedi's successor at the German club, pending a successful medical examination.
While Elvedi's transfer to Leeds United hasn't been confirmed officially yet, Gladbach have already secured the centre-back to take his place. Itakura's move runs parallel to the Swiss defender's exit, who is now pursuing a new chapter in the Premier League after years at the club.
