Takehiro Tomiyasu Leaves Arsenal After Injury-Riddled Spell

London: Arsenal have announced that the club have reached a mutual agreement with Takehiro Tomiyasu to end his contract with immediate effect.

The Japanese international spent the entirety of the 2024-25 season on the sidelines, barring one appearance.

The 26-year-old defender, who joined Arsenal from Bologna in August 2021, made 84 appearances in all competitions during his time with the club.

Having begun his career at J1 League side Avispa Fukuoka, Tomi moved to Belgian outfit Sint-Truiden in 2018 and won the club’s Player of the Season award before moving to Italy.

A senior international since 2018, Tomi has represented Japan 42 times and was part of his country’s squad at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and 2022 World Cup, as well as helping his nation reach the quarter-finals of the AFC Asian Cup in February 2024. IANS
