Arsenal are reportedly close to finalizing a contract extension with defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, as indicated by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Following his team's exit from the Asian Cup, Tomiyasu, who suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat against Iran in the quarter-finals, will return to London for the remainder of the domestic season.
The anticipated contract extension, viewed as a significant boost for manager Mikel Arteta, signals the club's commitment to building a stable and competitive team for the future.
Since joining from Bologna almost three years ago, Tomiyasu, with 40 international caps, has contributed one goal and six assists in 73 games across all competitions. The 25-year-old, valued at around £30 million, is currently under contract until 2025.
