Takuma Asano was Japan's hero in their World Cup win over Germany but the striker could have been playing for Arsenal.
The 28-year-old scored the winner in Wednesday's shock 2-1 win over Germany to hand Japan the perfect start to their World Cup campaign.
Former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger snapped up Asano from Sanfreece Hiroshima in 2016 but work permit issues prevented him from playing in the Premier League leading to his subsequent exit.
