This year, the player from the English Premier League who dropped out moved to Istanbul to secure his place in the Japanese club. Although the financial terms of the contract are not disclosed, it is believed that the Turks will pay the English about 1 million euros.
The main reason for the transfer was the lack of playing time. The 26-year-old defender appeared in only three matches this season for WBA and only as a substitute. The Japanese player finally gave up his place on the field to Jason Koumas, who recently returned to the team.
West Bromwich coach Bryan Robson officially commented on this situation on the club's website: "Ina is a great professional. He always trains hard and never complains. But when Jason Koumas came back, I had to find a balance in the team."
Nevertheless, Junichi Inamoto's move should be beneficial - with Galatasaray, he will be able to play in the Champions League instead of fighting to return to the Premier League with his former team.
