Arsenal has initiated contract talks with Takehiro Tomiyasu amid interest from several other teams. Since coming to the Emirates, the defender has proven to be a reliable player, and his versatility has made him an important asset for Mikel Arteta.
Despite rumours linking him with clubs such as Napoli and AC Milan, Arteta values Tomiyasu and is keen on retaining him at Arsenal. Recent reports indicating that the club might consider letting him go for a good offer are dismissed by the Daily Mail, which reveals that Arsenal is, in fact, in discussions with Tomiyasu over a contract extension.
The club is reportedly eager to secure Tomiyasu’s long-term future and is willing to offer him an improved contract to ensure he remains a key part of the team.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Tomi is one of our most reliable players and we can understand why Arteta wants him to stay.
We also enjoy watching his play, as he is one of the most dedicated players in the squad.
When he signs, we can turn to another important player and ensure every key member of the squad is on a long contract at the Emirates.

Arsenal go from top to 4th – what’s gone wrong?
YES HEIS A TOP PLAYER AND RELIABLE TOO , BUT ONLY WHEN FIT, WHICH IS NOT THAT OFTEN.
And THAT is the ongoing problem I expect us to keep having when we extend his contract.
It MUST be a gamble, given his injury prone nature.
Who really is Tomiyasu? Another Cedric Soares, Mari – always injured or warming the bench.
A jack of all trades, but a master of none.
Time to cash in, relieve the pain. There has to be another hungrier young defender somewhere in the league.
Do we still have a Scouting Department?
Big mistake unless they want him to extend and dispose him off for a higher fee. PLAYERS LIKE TOMIYASU ARE THE REASONS WE HAVE BEEN FALTERING FOR AGES. Can hardly play 1/3rd of 38 games without an injury. Get rid of him, Partey, ESR, GabJ as soon as possible. Be ruthless if you want to rub shoulders with City or Pool. City are better without Gab J. Actually we funded City to hire Halaand. 45M for a rubbish sicknote and they hired the hitman for 50M+. Shame on you Edu and Arteta. Why are we emotionally attached to sicknotes and a useless manager/players when they care 2 cents for our feelings? If they cared you would not have had 2 loses in 3 games, consider it 3 loses had the Odegard penalty been given against Pool. Pack up Arteta or Sack Arterta whichever is first.
It’s a good thing to let off steam IG but to remedy the situation isn’t as straightforward as you might think
Over time I hear Arteta talk about signing versatile players but in reality I don’t see him utilise the versatility.
When Odegard was dip in form arsenal couldn’t use Chench3nko in 10 role.
When partly was injured arsenal can’t use White in blocking 4 role.
We hardly see him emulate Pep and so I question why does he always make fuse about versatility?
Of all our injury prone players, Tomi is the one I’m most comfortable taking a chance on. He’s consistently good when he plays, and I still think he’s around about our best pure defender – close call with saliba, but he’s brilliant imo.
Spends more time on the treatment table, than the field. Why are we paying him more for that? Doesn’t make sense.
