done. “Takuma is a talented young striker and very much one for the future." 👇https://t.co/vO5SNftMwd— Arsenal (@Arsenal) July 3, 2016
この度、リリースが出ました通りアーセナルに完全移籍することを決めました。移籍まではまだ試合が残っていますし今まで通り目の前のことに対して100%で頑張りたいと思います。— 浅野拓磨 Takuma Asano (@AsaTaku29) July 3, 2016 I have decided to move to Arsenal, but I will give my 100% until I have matches to play left It looks like he will actually remain in Sanfrecce two more weeks, until the 17th. Unsure when the Olympic camp starts, but maybe he won't join Arsenal at all this year, not even for training
Well, what I'd like to know is more what he'll do the week from the 18th of July to the 24th (I assume after that the team goes in Brazil). If Japan gets out at the stage group, Asano can come back from the 11th of August. If they go foward, it could be on the 14th (quarter), or 18th (semis), finals 21th. On the 13th, the Premier League begins. So, well, maybe he can train with Arsenal but obviously he can't play any matches since friendlies are over. And by then, he'll have missed the pre-season with any club he's going on loan to. Also, I don't know what's Arsenal plan for him. Are they waiting for him to show up at the Olympics so that if he succeeds he will have more loan requests? Because if so, that means that he will come back to Arsenal and still have no clue where he'll go :/
Not at all. But missing the pre-season and start a new season w/o a loan club is not a good start at all.
I really dont get why they are mad about this, it's not like Wenger bought him to play as a first striker, like Man U got Zlatan, that's how they compare these signings and it's fkcing stupid. If he were a talent from Brazil they would be jizzing their pants. Although the history of asian players in Arsenal is dark, but those guys never really got the chance.
Wenger clearly stated that is one for the future. Ignorance and prejudice about Japan never producing top class strikers, plays a big role as well. The most stupid argument is that is a sign to sell t shirts and stuffs about him.
Arsenal fans are the typical big-club fans were every buy has to be a Ibrahimovic or "wtf are they doing". The word "prospect" is something they cannot even comprehend. Nobody cares about them anyway, certainly not the board. So it's not like they're not happy about him, they don't even know him. Even if it was Kagawa in 2010 from Jleague they'd say the same. After he'll go on loan they'll forget about him. If\when Asano will ever play for Arsenal what he'll do is what will matter
Yes, obviously if he was a brazilian it'd be different. But I'd replace "Japan" with "asian". Obviously, if it was an asian coming from Europe it would've been a bit better but I bet that even if Arsenal bought Muto it'd be the same. Moving on
Is there any Asano's highlight clips which don't focus mainly on his talents, guys? I mean his performance in a single match, as Youtuber called individual highlight. Or where do I can watch/download Sanfreece matches. I wanna see his performance as a whole. Thanks.

Btw, Liverpool's Marko Grujic just got his work permit despite him playing less games for his country than Asano and Serbia being 1 position below Japan in the FIFA rankings. I think it will be a bit of discrimination for Asano not to get the work permit while Grujic can.
I noticed to him when he appeared at AFC U23 2016 cup final match and he made Korean captain defender like a clown . Then, when my favourite team (Buriram FC) vs Sanfrecce, he destroyed our defenders. So, I think he is good striker, some video below
