Japan forward Takuma Asano has rejoined Bundesliga side Stuttgart on loan from Arsenal for the 2017-18 season.

The 22 year-old signed for the Gunners from J-League side Sanfrecce Hiroshima in July 2016, but spent the previous campaign in Germany to gain more first-team experience.

Asano made 26 appearances and scored four goals as Stuttgart went on to win the 2. Bundesliga title and secure promotion back to the German top flight.
