After an excellent week for Arsenal fans which saw many of our rivals for the Top Four dropping points all over the place, we now have even better news from London Colney as Takehero Tomiyasu has rejoined Mikel Arteta’s training sessions.
The Japanese international has proved to be an excellent buy for Arsenal on Deadline Day last summer. He took no time at all to settle into London life and has been practically indispensable for the Gunners when fit. He has started 16 League games since his debut back in September and looks like he is going to be an integral part of Mikel Arteta’s youth revolution.
