TOP STORY: Arsenal’s Tomiyasu set to sign new contract
Takehiro Tomiyasu is close to ending speculation about his future by agreeing a new contract extension at Arsenal, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Earlier this week it was reported that the 25-year-old defender might leave the north London club on loan, with several Italian clubs — including Napoli — said to be interested.
The report suggests both player and club are in the final stages of negotiations about a new and improved deal that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium.

Japan international Tomiyasu recently returned to fitness after limping off against Wolves in December. He featured in the Gunners’ recent defeat to Fulham and is likely to figure in the forthcoming FA Cup clash against Liverpool, but will then set off the Asia Cup — of which Japan are favourites.
Arsenal will welcome back Tomiyasu’s versatility having suffered two defeats in the last three games, though will miss his presence while he’s on international duty.
