Arsenal boss Unai Emery will not even get the chance to look at Takuma Asano.
If Arsenal prospect Takuma Asano harboured hopes of starring for the club under Unai Emery then he has proved mistaken.
On the same day Arsenal announced Emery as Arsenal’s manager, Asano’s latest departure was announced.
The Gunners signed Asano is 2016 from the J-League and he has struggled to gain a work permit.
He has been out in Germany for the past two seasons.
Last season he played 18 games for Bundesliga side Stuttgart, scoring only once.
Asano is not yet showing signs he will be ready to crack Arsenal’s first team, at 23-years-old he needs to show more promise, and nor does he have much re-sale value if the Gunners seek to cash in.
A strong loan spell at Hannover will help his cause, and perhaps next summer he will get a chance to make an impression on Unai Emery.
