Crystal Palace set to sign Tomiyasu and weigh March move
Crystal Palace are closing in on the signing of Japanese defender Takehiro Tomiyasu from Arsenal. The versatile defender, who has struggled with injuries during his time at the Emirates, is expected to provide defensive reinforcement for Palace. Separately, the club are also considering another piece of business during the March transfer window as they look to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season.
Read the full story at bbc.co.ukAdding Tomiyasu gives Crystal Palace a technically gifted, ball-playing defender capable of playing across the back line, addressing a clear need for depth and quality. His injury history is a risk factor, but if fit he elevates Palace's defensive options meaningfully. For Arsenal, the move frees squad space and salary as they continue reshaping their defensive unit. The additional March business suggests Palace are still active in the market and could make further moves before the window closes.
