Arsenal make Takehiro Tomiyasu transfer stance clear after audacious proposal launched

Takehiro Tomiyasu finds himself struggling for minutes at Arsenal with interest in the Japan star from Italy, but the Gunners have set the parameters for his possible exit

Arsenal have no interest in allowing Takehiro Tomiyasu to leave on loan amid interest from Inter Milan.

The Japanese international moved to the Emirates two years ago from Bologna and was regularly used before losing his spot in the starting XI last term. New arrivals and a defensive reshuffle meant Tomiyasu only started six times in the Premier League.

He would ideally like more minutes and Inter are open to bringing the defender to the San Siro, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. His previous Serie A experience is seen as a plus but the Italian side only want to add Tomiyasu on loan for the year – without any option to buy.

Arsenal are against that type of exit and, if they do sanction the Japanese star’s departure, want it to be on a permanent deal as they remain open to offers. The Gunners paid £16m to land Tomiyasu two summers ago and, as they look to offset their £200m summer spend, would want a notable fee.
