Transfer: Tomiyasu set to join Arsenal's EPL rivals
Crystal Palace are weighing a free transfer move for the Japan defender after injuries limited his Arsenal spell and he left Ajax in June.
- On Tuesday, 27-year defender Takehiro Tomiyasu was named on the bench for Crystal Palace's Como Cup match against Lens as he trials with the club seeking a Premier League return.
- Tomiyasu's tenure at Arsenal ended in July 2025 when a mutual agreement terminated his contract early following persistent injury issues; the 84-appearance veteran previously played for Bologna in Italy.
- After participating in the World Cup with Japan, the defender joined Pierre Sage's squad for training, integrating during the Como Cup group stage with the team currently light on numbers.
- Crystal Palace officials are reportedly open to signing Tomiyasu following his trial, though the defender also holds several contract offers from clubs across England and Europe.
- The defender may feature in a friendly match later this week and still resides in London following his recent departure from Ajax, as he pursues a new club.
