Arsenal’s new signing Takehiro Tomiyasu sent the fans a message after his transfer was made official late last night.
The Japan international joins from Bologna in what looks a smart piece of business by the Gunners, especially with Hector Bellerin departing for Real Betis in another major deadline day move.
Bellerin’s form had taken a bit of a dip in recent times and it’s not too surprising Arsenal were keen to replace him, with Tomiyasu looking like a potentially major upgrade after impressing in Serie A.
Watch the video clip below as the 22-year-old spoke to Arsenal fans for the first time, vowing to give it his all in the red and white shirt…
Hi Tomi! ?
? "I promise you I will give everything to contribute to the team. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the stadium."
