Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is prepared to move on from the club in the winter transfer window amidst interest from Serie A.
The 25-year-old defender has not been involved with the Arsenal first-team squad at the start of the season and is not a major part of Mikel Arteta’s plans.
The arrival of Riccardo Calafiori has further reduced his role at Arsenal but the Japanese still has a little less than two years left on his contract with the club.
With game time hard to come by, the defender is considering his future at Arsenal ahead of the winter transfer window, which opens in January.
He joined Arsenal from Bologna in 2021 and has been heavily linked with a move back to Italy in the upcoming January window.
The Arsenal star is keen to move on from the Emirates Stadium
The right-back’s future at Arsenal is under the scanner and he could be moving on from the club during the winter window.
According to Italian outlet Calciomercato.com, the Japan international is prepared to leave the Emirates Stadium at the next opportune moment.
He wants to play regular first-team football and he is unlikely to get those opportunities at Arsenal given the options Mikel Arteta has in his squad.
Juventus have their eyes on him and the Serie A giants are expected to make a move for him in the upcoming January transfer window.
They are expected to test the waters with Arsenal in the coming months and the Gunners are likely to demand a fee of €20m from the sale of the player.
Tomiyasu has other suitors in Italy as well where Napoli and Inter Milan are also interested in getting their hands on the defender in the winter window.
The Italian clubs are likely to propose a loan plus option to buy bid for the defender if they make a concrete move for the Japanese.
