Subbed out in the 65 th minute. How did he do? We can't say he is not getting enough chances to impress.
Was fouled, creating the PK leading to the equalizer after 21 min. Stuttgart is ahead 3:1 right now after 80 min and with him and Akolo both wingers appear to run riot (the latter has a goal and an assist).
His goal: Arsenal loanee Takuma Asano has just grabbed his first #Bundesliga goal of the season for Stuttgart 🇯🇵🇩🇪#AFC🔴 pic.twitter.com/ADrkdsPFWA— Joe Nelson (@Joe_Nelson1994) November 24, 2017
He emptied his sack for this year. Looking forward to coming back to Japan next year! Preferably - J2 with Sanfrecce!
I totally forgot he's in loan from Arsenal. What's his option for the incoming winter transfer window?

German press reported that Asano asked to be able to leave and that Stuttgart agreed to not hinder him. Target regularly mentioned is Portimonense as well. Only question is what takes so long, it's clear he hasn't played yet this year for this very reason.
Did you guys really have high expectations on the move ? I liked it but I never saw something that would indicate something special.
Yes, but with him playing as CF. Which never happened. This two years-loan will still be useful, but I want back the player I watched in Hiroshima, especially in 2016.
