Okugawa and fellow countryman Ritsu Doan gelled marvelously in East Westphalia during the second half of the season, at one point becoming the first Japanese duo to both score in a top flight German fixture since 2016.
A €5 million purchase clause for Doan was out of the question for Bielefeld, but it appears as if club management has been able to negotiate RB Salzburg down to a transfer fee of just under €2 million for their 25-year-old midfielder.
Kicker reports that Arminia can pay the fee off in installments and that Okugawa will be signed through 2024.
