      One of my favourite signings of the current team. Out of nowhere, no rumours beforehand, pundits clueless about him, absolutely top class player and perfect fit for the style of play of the team.

    From the article: "Arsenal are in negotiations with Takehiro Tomiyasu over a new contract.

    The Premier League club have made an offer to the Japan international with the two parties expected to reach an agreement in due course.

    His currentl deal is set to expire in 2025, although the club do have the option to extend it by a further 12 months.

    The 25-year-old joined Arsenal from Serie A side Bologna in 2021 and has gone on to make 71 appearances for the club including 18 so far this season.

    He is set to join a number of first-team players in agreeing new deals with the club in recent months following the likes of Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

    Tomiyasu was withdrawn at half-time of Wednesday’s 6-0 Champions League win over Lens with Mikel Arteta later revealing it was down to his workload as a key part of the squad.

    “I think he was excellent,” Arteta said. “He’s played a lot of minutes and we have a really congested period.

    “We are really short at the back at the moment and we had to use the squad and make some changes, give some rest and give some minutes to all the players.”

    Arsenal — top of the Premier League table — return to action against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday."

    His agent did their job then. Possibly forced the clubs hand to get this done early rather than wait till summer.

    Maybe the club were in no rush, and didn’t want to risk an early deal only for tomi to miss a lot of the season due to injury
