Sef Vergoossen is certain his gaggle of talented young Nagoya Grampus Eight players will have a major impact on the J. League title race -- but not for another season or two.

The Dutch coach says he has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to players 25 or under, with the likes of Keita Sugimoto coming in for special praise.

"Yes, especially Keita Sugimoto, our striker," said Vergoossen in a recent interview, when asked who stood out as the best of a bright bunch.
