Hannover 96 chiefs are split over the future of Takuma Asano.

On-loan from Arsenal, the Japanese striker has produced career best form this season.

And should he play two more games, it will trigger a payment of €3m, says Sport Buzzer.

There is also a split amongst powerbrokers inside the club about whether to sign him outright.

Hannover chief Horst Heldt is excited by the potential of Asano, but president Martin Kind is not yet convinced.
