The talented Kobe-born attacker has made 13 appearances this term, scoring three goals with three assists for the black and yellows.
His team-mate, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, has also been busy at Christmas, by racing quad bikes in the Dubai desert.
Family man Kagawa has still been on the training ground judging by the video, although after the number of nutmegs his son had to endure the poor little lad may be wishing his ‘Competitive Dad’ was thousands of miles away on a quad bike too.
