Deal signed, paperwork done – Jubilation at LONDON Colney as Arsenal set to make official announcement for their first January signing today – Here We Go.
Fabrizio Romano provides an update on Takehiro Tomiyasu’s future amid speculation of Arsenal’s interest in securing a new contract during the January transfer window. Despite being a fan favorite at the Emirates, negotiating this window poses challenges for Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal’s approach in January must be cautious, considering financial constraints outlined in David Ray’s summer loan. This could impact the feasibility of substantial acquisitions, leading to the need for careful consideration of serious bids for various players.
Amidst the transfer speculation, reports suggest Napoli’s interest in the £20 million-rated Japanese international. However, Fabrizio Romano, in his YouTube channel update, dismisses the possibility of Tomiyasu leaving Arsenal during this transfer window. Both the player and the club express a desire for a prolonged association at the Emirates.
Romano reveals that talks between Arsenal and Tomiyasu are progressing towards the final stages, aiming to secure a new contract soon.
Consequently, Tomiyasu is expected to stay at the Emirates, dispelling rumors of potential moves to Milan, Roma, or Napoli. The overarching plan involves extending Tomiyasu’s contract, reflecting the optimism shared by both Arsenal and the player for a continued partnership.
