Takehiro Tomiyasu signs new long-term Arsenal deal | OneFootball

Takehiro Tomiyasu has become the latest player to commit his long-term future to Arsenal.

The Japan international follows defensive cohort Ben White in signing a new contract, reportedly set to run until 2026.

Since moving to the Emirates Stadium in 2021, Tomiyasu has made 73 appearances in all competitions to date, scoring once.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said: “We are so pleased to have Tomi commit his future with us. Together with his natural ability and strength, Tomi’s attitude, mentality and values are first-class. Tomi is loved by everyone and has been an integral part of the squad since joining us.

“The way he trains, with his desire and determination to be the best version of himself every day is admirable. We look forward to continue working with Tomi in the future years.”

Premier League leaders Arsenal are next in action at the end of March, when they take on Manchester City in a top-of-the-table clash.
