Japanese striker Asano will play in the Bundesliga next season to get himself ready for next season at the Gunners
Arsenal had signed a striker this summer before they triggered the £17m release clause of Lucas Perez.
Takuma Asano was signed by the Gunners from Japanese side Sanfrecce Hiroshima but the striker has failed to obtain a work permit.

When asked why Asano had not been granted a work permit Arsene Wenger said, ”because he didn’t cost £50m”.
The 21 year old cost Arsenal £5m and Wenger had been hopeful of promoting the player to the first team but a move to the Bundesliga side will be a good level to ready the striker for the Premier League when he finally is allowed to play in England.
Asano hasn’t spent his time not playing however after some impressive performances in the Rio 2016 Olympics for his country South Korea.
