Former Arsenal defender Tomiyasu targeted by Sassuolo and Venezia
Takehiro Tomiyasu, the Japanese international defender, is available as a free agent after departing Arsenal. Both Sassuolo and Venezia have expressed interest in signing him. Tomiyasu struggled with injuries during his time at Arsenal and made limited appearances in his final season. The Italian clubs see him as an opportunity to add top-level experience to their squads. No deal has been confirmed yet, with discussions reportedly at an early stage.
Read the full story at football-italia.netTomiyasu's availability as a free agent represents a low-risk, potentially high-reward signing for mid-table or newly-promoted Serie A sides. His Arsenal pedigree and international experience bring value, but persistent injury concerns are a significant factor. For Sassuolo, adding Tomiyasu would strengthen their defense for a promotion push or consolidation; for Venezia, survival-focused, it would be a statement signing. This is a secondary-tier transfer story unlikely to materially shift league predictions.
