Arsenal Transfer Surprise: Offer made for Japanese striker

ARSENAL have reportedly made a bid to Sanfrecce Hiroshima for striker Takuma Asano.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is on the hunt for a striker this summer and has already suffered a snub from Leicester’s Jamie Vardy.

While Lyon’s Alexandre Lacazette and Alvaro Morata, who has rejoined Real Madrid, have been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates.

But it appears Wenger is looking beyond established names to bolster his attack.

Asano has scored 20 goals in 75 games for his club and has four international appearances for Japan.

According to Japanese media outlet Sanyo News, the Gunners have moved for him with a formal offer.

The forward is expected to play at the Rio Olympics this summer for his national team.

It's the Wenger link.

[Rastayouth]

Wenger is a master troll

[Schlandi]

Welcome to the banter era 2.0

[Cripps]

Been a big fan of his for ages.

[Rastayouth]

Still laughing. It can't be true.

Can it?

Typical Wenger. NOW he chooses to replace Park. It's been YEARS ffs.

[Cripps]

Park, Kallstrom

I'm sure there are others but how have Wenger not answered for these transfer crimes?

Surely there's been a bung or two come his way. For gods sake FA, investigate this c*** so we can sack him and then you can take him to be England manager.

Park is Korean. It would have made more sense to say Miyaichi.

[Massa]

Think he meant in the sense of a random shit striker

[Zenith]

Going by the compilation below he looks rapid and seems to have good off-the-ball movement

Ah, we had a lot of those in the past 10 years. From the top of my head: Sanogo, Chamakh, Bendtner, Park, Aliadiere, and you can argue Podolski as a ST was shit for us.
