Liverpool forward Takumi Minamino has been included in a prestigious new shortlist.
Minamino, who was snapped up from Red Bull Salzburg in January for £7.25million, has been named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2020 List.
Described by Forbes as an "annual roster of young entrepreneurs and change makers", the list of leading people under 30 years old who hail from the Asia-Pacific is said to include a "group of relentless individuals disrupting industries and tackling major global issues".
Minamino is the only footballer in a section of 30 sports and entertainment stars.
“This year’s Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list-makers inspire optimism in what is promising to be a tough year ahead,” said Rana Wehbe, Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia Editor.
“They are a resilient and energetic bunch who are facing challenges head-on and actively working for a future that matches their aspirations.”
Since arriving at Liverpool, Minamino has made three starts - all in the FA Cup - and has also made three substitute appearances in the Premier League and one in the Champions League.
