Yōsuke Ideguchi is a seasoned midfielder who was born on 23 August 1996 in Japan. Currently aged 28, he primarily plays as a central midfielder for Vissel Kobe, donning the number 7 jersey. Standing at 5ft 7in (1.71m) and weighing in at 10st 12lb (69kg), Ideguchi commenced his professional football career at Gamba Osaka in the J1 League, Japan.

He joined Gamba Osaka in January 2015, initiating his debut season with eight first-team appearances in league matches. Over the next handful of seasons leading to 2021, the Japanese midfielder often graced the pitch, marking regular appearances and providing crucial goals for the team. During his time at Gamba Osaka, Ideguchi demonstrated significant progression, scoring numerous goals and playing a predominant role in the team's midfield.

Following a successful stint at Gamba Osaka, Ideguchi transferred to Leeds United in the Championship, England, for a calculated fee of around £500,000 in January 2018. However, his playing time was limited, and he shortly moved to Cultural Leonesa in Second Division B/1 in Spain on a loan agreement. Here, he made five first-team appearances in league matches. Merely months down the line, in August 2018, he was transferred to Greuther Furth in the 2. Bundesliga, Germany, again on loan. In Germany, Ideguchi made seven first-team appearances and scored one goal in league matches.

Ideguchi's frequent transfers eventually led him back home to Gamba Osaka in August 2019. Revisiting his roots, he had a more active role. He once again impressed with his skills, marking regular appearances and bagging multiple goals for the team.

In January 2022, a significant turn took place in Ideguchi's career when he was transferred to Celtic in the Premiership, Scotland, for a fee of approximately £690,000. Following the move north, he made just three first-team appearances in league matches. A year later, he was once again on loan, this time at Avispa Fukuoka in Japan, making 21 appearances. His Celtic stint, albeit short, saw him deliver a committed performance whenever given the chance.

In January 2024, Ideguchi made his final shift, transferring from Celtic to Vissel Kobe in the J1 League, Japan, for a fee around £860,000. In the current 2024 season at Vissel Kobe, Ideguchi has made 23 appearances in league matches. He also participated in the Super Cup 2024 for Vissel Kobe with one appearance as a substitute, and AFC Champions League Elite 2024 - 2025 for Vissel Kobe with two starts.
