If the climb is successful: - Keeping Tanaka is a must for Fortuna.

This year, Ao Tanaka (25) has turned it around for Fortuna Düsseldorf after some sluggish seasons. As the promotion finals approach, the Japanese international is stepping up his game even more. His recent success is largely attributed to his surgery, which his coach Daniel Thioune (49) calls a "game changer." Definitely an asset for the team if they're to stay in the Bundesliga.

Fortuna must hold on to this Tanaka!

For years, Tanaka has been trying to move to a top-tier club, but Haven't been able to attract any takers. His stellar performances for the Japanese national team didn't help either. He even scored the goal that eliminated Germany at the World Cup. But this summer, things could be very different.

Late in the evening on May 27, we'll know which league Fortuna will be playing in next season - and what their plans are for keeping Tanaka. The midfielder, along with Christos Tzolis (22), could make all the difference for the squad in the relegation. His return from his appendectomy against Schalke (1:1) saw him back in action, scoring right away and leading the match. He also played a crucial role in controlling Fortuna's attacks against Nuremberg (2:0) and made sure Düsseldorf dominated the newly promoted team in Kiel (1:1).

Now, in the relegation playoff, Tanaka finally has his chance to shine in a Fortuna shirt at the Bundesliga level... especially since he missed the cup semifinal against Leverkusen (0:4).
