Freiburg forward Kisho Yano is expected to leave the club on a permanent basis after going on trial in Switzerland.

The Japan international is hoping to impress at FA Aarau and, if he earns a deal, could move due to Switzerland's transfer window not closing until mid-February.

Yano's contract expires in the summer, but he has not featured in the 2011/12 Bundesliga and Freiburg general manager Dirk Dufner has confirmed the player is set for a winter exit.

Dufner told Kicker-Sportmagazin: "Kisho Yano is on his way out. He has joined Aarau for a trial period.

"He would be able to move to Switzerland, as they have got a different transfer window ruling."

Dufner added: "If he is not moving to Switzerland, he could still be on his way back to Japan, as Japanese clubs are able to sign players until mid-March."
