Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that one former Arsenal player is on the move.
One of the most heartbreaking transfer stories of the summer was that Arsenal terminated Takehiro Tomiyasu’s contract.
The Japanese defender went from hero to zero at Arsenal through no fault of his own, having a torrid time with injuries throughout his career in N5.
Tomiyasu is desperate to get back on the pitch after recovering from injury, and finally, the end is in sight.
Romano took to X to confirm that Tomiyasu is set to sign for Ajax, issuing his famous ‘here we go’.
The transfer is subject to a medical, which will happen on Tuesday (16th December), which, if passed, will confirm the 27-year-old’s status as an Ajax player.

Tomiyasu has endured a nightmare since suffering his injury setback, leading to the end of his journey at Arsenal, a club where he was truly adored.
In 2023, speaking after Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Sheffield United, Mikel Arteta spoke so highly of his defender.
“I love him. Everybody loves him. He’s one of the most popular in the dressing room,” the Arsenal manager said.
“You can see the reaction of his team-mates towards him. They wanted him there at the front, enjoying it. He’s always very reserved and always doing things for the rest of the boys. He’s a fantastic player for the team.”
At long last, a return to action is in sight for Tomiyasu, who has so much potential yet to fulfil.
