Arsenal has confirmed that defender Takehiro Tomiyasu has extended his stay at the club with a new long-term contract. The Japanese international joined the Emirates Stadium from Bologna in 2021 and has since played in 73 matches for the team, scoring once and providing six assists.

However, injuries have limited Tomiyasu to only 20 appearances this season, with his last game for Arsenal being against Fulham in December. Despite this, there has been speculation about a new contract for the versatile 25-year-old, who can play across the back four.

Now, Arsenal has announced that Tomiyasu has committed to a long-term deal at the Emirates Stadium. According to reports from Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the agreement will keep Tomiyasu at the club until June 2026, with the option of extending for another 12 months.

"Takehiro Tomiyasu has signed a new long-term contract with us," read a statement from the North London outfit on their official website.

The club's sporting director Edu said:

"We are very excited to have Tomi with us for more years to come. He has huge qualities both on and off the pitch, and offers so much strength and versatility to our squad.

"Tomi is a top professional and it's great that he'll continue to play an important role in the coming years, as we work towards achieving our goals."

Meanwhile, head coach Mikel Arteta added:

"We are so pleased to have Tomi commit his future with us. Together with his natural ability and strength, Tomi's attitude, mentality and values are first-class.
"Tomi is loved by everyone and has been an integral part of the squad since joining us.

"The way he trains, with his desire and determination to be the best version of himself every day is admirable. We look forward to continue working with Tomi in the future years."
