Japanese international midfielder Junichi Inamoto looks set to join his eighth club since 2001 with a move to J-League side Kawasaki Frontale from French First Division outfit Rennes.

The 29-year-old – capped over 70 times and an iconic figure when Japan co-hosted the 2002 World Cup finals – has failed to make an impact at Rennes despite being reunited with Frederic Antonetti, who coached him at J-League club Gamba Osaka.

Inamoto, who only appeared in the League Cup for Arsenal after joining them in 2001 before moving on to Fulham and also saw service with Turkish giants Galatasaray, West Brom, Cardiff and German team Eintracht Frankfurt, is desperate to make the Japanese squad for this year’s World Cup finals in South Africa.

Also set to leave Rennes is former Liverpool midfielder Bruno Cheyrou, who has dropped down the pecking order since Yann M?Vila sprang to prominence this season.

Cheyrou, who has also played for Marseille and Bordeaux, is to join Cypriot side Anorthosis for 18 months according to Rennes’ general manager Pierre Dreossi.
