Takehiro Tomiyasu could make his Arsenal debut this weekend only on one condition

Arsenal are looking forward to face Norwich City on Saturday, in Premier League compaign. Takehiro Tomiyasu, who moved this summer for a fee of £19m, is in line to make his debut with the Gunners. The Japanese is expected to be utilized in the right-back, but the big question is - when? Well, the answer has been cleared out. Tomiyasu will be able to make his Emirates debut only if the club secure a work permit for the 22-year-old before 12pm on Friday, which would make the defender available for Norwich clash. In his pre-match press conference, Mikel Arteta has spoken about this issue.
"We need a work permit first," the Spaniard confirmed.   "The club is working hard to try and achieve that in the next couple of hours."
The Arsenal manager has outlined the Japanese international's versatility and ability to solve the right-back problem.
"Tomiyasu has the ability to play anywhere in a back four," Arteta added.   "He gives us different qualities in that right-back position.   "He brings qualities that we didn't have in the squad."
