Arsenal is reportedly aware of growing interest in Japanese defender Takehiro Tomiyasu and is determined to secure his long-term commitment to the club. Tomiyasu, formerly of Bologna, has become a crucial player for Arsenal, thanks to his versatility in various defensive positions.
Mikel Arteta values Tomiyasu’s contributions and is keen to retain him in the squad. However, the club is cognizant of the attention he is receiving from other European teams. Despite the external interest, Arsenal is dedicated to keeping hold of their key players.
According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal is preparing to initiate talks with Tomiyasu to negotiate a contract extension, ensuring that the Japanese defender remains part of the team for an extended period. The Gunners have been proactive in securing new deals for their top players, and Tomiyasu is next in line for contract discussions to ward off potential suitors.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Handing Tomi a new deal is the smart thing for us to do at the moment because he is one of our most important players.
The defender is reliable wherever he plays on the pitch and players who are as effective as he is are rare.
If we lose him, we may struggle to get another utility player as good as he is.

Apart of the signing of a new top quality holding midfielder in the next January transfer window to replace Thomas Partey in the team if he leaves.
But would Arsenal as well sign in the next Jan window another new top quality specialist roving defender? Who can play in all the 4 positions of the defense-line, just like Eomiyansu currently does play in the team. And replace the season-long injured Jurrien Timber with the new signed roving ( versatile ) defender.
So that the team can be booked with having on the list 2 top roving defenders for top quality options and to cover for, during the 2nd half of the season’s campaign.
Arsenal should keep Tomiyasu.him plus Saliba, Gabriel and Timber should be our main defence come next season Tomi at left back and Timber at the opposite flack will be the most complete fullbacks in the pl,at Central defence Saliba and Gabriel are unrivaled in the pl this will be the most fearsome defence in the league.
