Background
Kodai Sano, who switched from NEC to PSV last summer, has quickly adapted to the level of the Eredivisie. His current form and the praise from analysts such as Janssen and Zenden suggest that he can play an important role in PSV's future, possibly even in a bigger competition.
Why this matters
Theo Janssen's praise for Kodai Sano highlights the impact the young midfielder has on PSV, despite the defeat against Club Brugge.

Key points
- Janssen impressed by Sano: 'PSV can get him after this.
- Former international and analyst Theo Janssen is full of praise for PSV midfielder Kodai Sano, who, according to him, has already surpassed the level of his club.
- Janssen praises Sano: 'Leaving PSV again for a lot of money after this season'.
Analyst and former international Theo Janssen has spoken out as a great admirer of Kodai Sano, the Japanese midfielder of PSV. During the recent confrontation with Club Brugge, in which PSV lost 1-2 despite Sano's good play, Janssen at Ziggo Sport was extremely positive about the 21-year-old playmaker's performance.
Janssen especially emphasized Sano's tireless efforts and his ability to always take the right positions. "There is so much poison in Sano. He is eager, takes second balls and constantly looks for attacks. In addition, he fulfills his defensive duties with enormous dedication. It seems as if he has never done anything else at PSV," said Janssen.
Sano switched from NEC to PSV last summer. While he initially had to get used to being in Eindhoven, he has now become a permanent fixture in Peter Bosz's team. According to Janssen, it is only a matter of time before the Japanese rises above his current level. "I dare say: Sano will quickly outgrow PSV. He is so good, he will take the next step within a year. It would not surprise me if PSV has to let him go for a huge amount next summer," the analyst predicted.

Boudewijn Zenden, also present in the studio, also confirmed Sano's exceptional qualities. Zenden: "He is an intelligent player who reads situations earlier than others. Sano sees where he can get free, puts pressure at the right time and works hard for the team. You wish such a player on every team."
Although PSV could not prevent the Belgians from winning in the practice match against Club Brugge, Sano's performance was an important bright spot for the Eindhoven team. With his sharpness, aggressiveness and ability to force decisive moments, Sano seems to have made himself indispensable at PSV in a short time.
The attention that Sano is already enjoying - both within the Netherlands and internationally - suggests that a next step awaits this summeryoung Japanese. The challenge for PSV remains to take full advantage of Sano's qualities until the end of the season, before the club may have to say goodbye to one of its greatest talents.
What's happening now
With the growing interest in Kodai Sano, it is likely that PSV will have to prepare for a possible transfer after this season. This could influence the club's selection and strategy in the Eredivisie. Sano's performance can also inspire other Eredivisie clubs to scout similar talents.
