Arsenal agrees to terminate Takehiro Tomiyasu's contract amid ongoing injury recovery

Takehiro Tomiyasu has decided to part ways with Arsenal amid ongoing injury recovery.

According to BBC, after a mutual consent, the Japanese defender will depart from Arsenal after four years with the English club.

The decision came after the 26-year-old suffered an injury after just six minutes in a game last season. He underwent knee surgery earlier this year and would not return to fitness for another five months. He also suffered a similar injury in 2023.

Tomiyasu joined the club in a £19.8m move from Bologna in 2021, and his contract was due to expire in 2026. Despite his back-to-back injuries, he remained famous among fans.

He made 83 appearances for the Gunners across the four seasons. He represented the club in the Premier League, Champions League 2023, and FA Cup 2023.

Arsenal, which has already lost Kieran Tierney to Celtic, has already begun its efforts to strengthen its defense with Cristhian Mosquera as a potential target. It is also expected that Oleksandr Zinchenko might leave the club before the transfer deadline on September 1.

Meanwhile, Tomiyasu will now focus on recovering from knee surgery to be able to return to action by the end of 2025. It is believed that many teams would be interested in signing him after his healthy return.
