Bundesliga giants Bayern are reportedly interested in signing Arsenal's Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Thomas Tuchel's side have shown interest in the Arsenal defender, making him a potential target for the upcoming January transfer window. Despite a bit-part role in the Gunners' 2023/24 season, Tomiyasu delivered a standout performance against Sevilla in the Champions League and secured his first goal for the club against Sheffield United.
Despite facing challenges in breaking into Arteta's preferred starting XI since his move from Bologna in 2021, the Japanese international has proven to be an invaluable asset for the Gunners. His versatility across the backline is a significant attribute, adding to his appeal as a potential transfer for Bayern.
As per Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg, the prospect of a January transfer appears "unrealistic" due to Tomiyasu's commitment to represent Japan in the 2024 Asia Cup during the first month of the upcoming year.
Despite this timing constraint, the Bundesliga giants are poised to keep a close eye on the 25-year-old's situation, indicating a potential monitoring of the player's status leading up to the summer transfer window.
