Takehiro Tomiyasu is attracting serious transfer interest from several top Serie A clubs, and the defender is expected to make a decision on his future soon.
Mikel Arteta values Tomiyasu in his squad, and when fit, he often gets game time due to his reliability.
However, Tomiyasu has struggled with injuries, limiting his availability, and Arsenal is keen to address his fitness issues to ensure he can play more regularly.
While Tomiyasu is considered a key player at the Emirates, clubs like Inter Milan, Napoli, and Juventus are eager to add him to their squads. What is his stance on their interest?
According to Football Insider, Tomiyasu is aware of the interest from these clubs but remains committed to Arsenal.
The report claims that his first choice is to stay with the Gunners, provided the club wants to keep him.
Just Arsenal Opinion
It will be nice to keep Tomi at the Emirates, but he needs to quickly get over his injury problems so that we can trust him with more game time.

Injuries are certainly hitting us hard this season and I can understand the call to unload certain players including Tomi.While I consider Tomi to be a better defender than Kwior, the latter is not injury prone and is a decent back up for Gabriel in particular.In these circumstances I do not feel Arteta will be averse to selling Tomi.
Players need to be able to play, otherwise it doesn’t really matter how good they are. I like Tomi but if he’s never available for selection then what’s the point? Injuries have been a ball and chain around Arsenal’s neck for the last 20 years, so having a squad with fewer injury-prone players can only be a good thing.
