Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is ready to leave the club in the winter transfer window amidst interests from the Italian League.
Since the beginning of the season, the 25-year-old defender has not featured for the Gunners and does not seem to be part of Mikel Arteta’s plans.
While the Japanese player still has a little less than two years left on his contract with the team, Riccardo Calafiori’s arrival has further diminished his importance at the Emirates.
Due to his lack of playing time, the defender is considering his future at the London club before the winter transfer window, which opens in January.
He moved to Arsenal from Bologna in 2021 and has been strongly linked to a return to Italy, in the upcoming January transfer window.
Arsenal ready for Serie A return
Italian outlet Calciomercato.com reports that the Japan international is ready to depart Emirates Stadium at any given opportunity.
With Mikel Arteta’s alternatives on his roster, the full-back is unlikely to acquire the regular first-team playing opportunities he desires at Arsenal.
He is being watched by Juventus, and it is anticipated that the Serie A powerhouses would try to sign him during the next January transfer window.
