“Arsenal” will strengthen their right defensive flank with versatile Japanese player, Takehiro Tomiyasu, announces journalist Fabrizio Romano. T. Tomiyasu will arrive from the “Bologna” team for 23 million euros, including bonuses. This Japanese player is very versatile, able to play in almost all defensive positions, both on the left and right defensive flank, as well as in central defense. Earlier this summer, this Japanese player was actively pursued by “Arsenal”'s neighbors, London's “Tottenham” team, however, ultimately the “Spurs” did not reach a compromise with the Bologna club. Meanwhile, Hector Bellerin is set to move to the “Real Betis” club on loan basis.
