SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Active despite not scoring Asano recorded four shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Leganes.

Impact Asano didn't find the back of the net in this one, but the striker was one of Mallorca's most dangerous players with his pace and intelligent movements in the final third. Based on how good he's looked to start the season, it seems it's only a matter of time before he starts producing for Mallorca, and for now, his starting role seems secure.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

No shots on target in loss Asano generated two shots (none on goal) and two crosses (none accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Osasuna.

Impact Asano was not at his best Saturday, he led the attack down Mallorca's right flank but did not manage to place any strikes on goal. He was subbed after 62 minutes. The Japanese international joined the club from Bochum over the summer. He managed to bag two goals from Mallorca's three pre-season friendlies, so he has the potential to be a regular scorer but needs to be more clinical than he was in this encounter.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Mallorca Asano has completed a transfer to Mallorca, his new club annouced.

Impact Asano has found his new team after testing free agency, with the forward set to join Spanish side Mallorca.
