Takehiro Tomiyasu, 22, has been keen to allay any concerns about his fitness following a £ 16 million move to Arsenal.
What did Takehiro Tomiyasu say?
Takehiro Tomiyasu, who can work in the center half or right-back, was part of record-breaking summer spending at Emirates Stadium, with Arteta being backed by his board worth around £ 145 million. Takehiro arrives with a lot of potential to be unlocked, but also with questions about his ability to stay out of injury after a series of muscle problems during his time in Bologna.
Takehiro Tomiyasu insists that he is free from these ailments and is willing to give everything for Arsenal, telling reporters while on qualifying duty for the World Cup with his country that he has had more injuries in Italy and has had muscle injuries in recent two years. Takehiro Tomiyasu was not in good shape, and with that, he could not do it 100 percent, or he was not happy with the work in the last few months at all. The 22-year-old hopes this transfer will lead to a positive direction and he thinks they should move on.
Good times around the corner
The Gunners have fought for the consistency and stability of their defensive unit for some time, with more additions being made to the last window. Takehiro has joined Ben White’s new boy in the Emirates, while Tavares is yet another person who has been called upon to provide alternatives for the left-back. The new side has yet to be settled in 2021-22, with no points taken across three games to sit at the bottom of the Premier League table, but there is more promise.
Takehiro is confident that good times are around the corner, with him intent on taking the lead in turning the team around. Takehiro Tomiyasu added that he feels that the team has changed and this is a new start. The Premier League is the stage that Takehiro originally aspired to and he is happy to join Arsenal, a global big club. The 22-year-old is grateful that he was able to speak with the Japanese association and the director and travel to Europe for the transfer, because without him he could not have done it. The Gunners will return to service on September 11 with Master Norwich playing.
