Official: Arsenal reaches a mutual agreement with Takehiro Tomiyasu to end his contract
Arsenal:
The 26-year-old defender, who accompanied himself with us from Bologna in August 2021, appeared 84 performances in all matches during his time at the club.
The Japanese international Tomi immediately settled on the right after his signing and won our Player of the Month Award in September 2021, an award that he collected again in October 2023.
After having started his career at J1 League Side Avispa Fukuoka, Tomi moved to the Belgian Outfit Sint-Truiden in 2018 and won the Club's Player of the Season Award before moving to Italy.
Senior International Since 2018, Tomi Japan has represented 42 times and was part of the team of his country at the 2020 Tokyo and 2022 Olympic Games, as well as helping his nation to reach the quarter -finals of the AFC Asian Cup in February 2024.
Unfortunately, Tomi's time on the field has limited the time of Tomi in the past two seasons, with the defender only appearing one replacement appearance last season. It was therefore agreed to end Tomi's contract in order to start a new chapter in his career.
Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wants to thank Tomi for his contribution to the club and we wish him and his family the very best for the future.
