• Bought From: Sanfrece Hiroshima (J1 League)
• Announced: 3rd July
• Age: 23
• Position: Centre Forward

Here’s hoping Wenger’s history with Asian players doesn’t come back to bite him in the ass, because although he’s got crazy pace we don’t know too much about Asano.

You can tell from his move that it’s a massive step up and the youngster will now look to progress at Stuttgart after failing to get himself a work permit to play in the Premier League.

It’s not a massive blow for Wenger who admires the youngster a lot, but in a back-handed response to the media Wenger confirmed it was because the player didn’t cost £50million.
