CD Tenerife signed Gaku Shibasaki on deadline day in the January transfer window, with the Japanese midfielder arriving on the island, off the back of scoring a brace in the FIFA Club World Cup final against Real Madrid.
The 24-year-old made his LaLiga 1|2|3 debut on Matchday 30 against CF Reus and has now racked up six appearances for the club, two of which have come from the start. Shibasaki spoke about his hopes for the business end of the campaign and explained that returning to LaLiga Santander is the target for Pep Marti's charges: "I think we've been performing well in recent weeks. With automatic promotion now looking very tough, our aim is to secure a playoff place."
