Arsene Wenger, very much one with an eye for talent described Takuma Asano as “a talented young striker and very much one for the future.”

The striker signed for Arsenal in 2016 but never played due to work permit issues. He was loaned out to VfB Stuttgart and Hannover 96 before red tape ended his Arsenal career three years later. He now plays for Bochum.

Today, he scored the winning goal against Germany with a sublime first touch, turned the jets on, held off a defender, and absolutely lashed a ball past Manuel Neuer from a tight angle.
