Transfer: Arsenal terminate Tomiyasu’s contract

Arsenal have decided to terminate the contract of Takehiro Tomiyasu.

The Japan defender has not been seen in a Gunners shirt since October 2024.

Tomiyasu underwent an operation on his knee in February and is expected to be unavailable until the end of 2025.

Although his current deal expires next summer, there have been discussions over an early termination.

The Daily Mail reports that a mutual agreement has been reached and an official announcement is expected soon.

Tomiyasu arrived from Bologna for a transfer fee just under £20 million in August 2021.

But he has struggled with injuries throughout his time with Arsenal.

Last season, Tomiyasu made only one substitute appearance in all competitions, playing for six minutes against Southampton in October.
