Arsenal could be open to doing some late transfer business should a suitable offer come in for one of their full-backs.
That’s according to a recent report from Football Transfers, who claims the Gunners could part ways with full-back Takehiro Tomiyasu before the August 30th transfer deadline.
Including Tomiyasu, 25, in their negotiations to sell Riccardo Calafiori, Bologna were keen to bring the Japan international back to Italy. A swap deal failed to materialise due to Calafiori’s future sell-on clause.
However, although the Arsenal number 18 has so far failed to leave the Emirates, a move before the end of the month has not been ruled out with Mikel Arteta thought to be open to offers.
Selling Tomiyasu won’t be straightforward though. Not only will the Gunners need to find a suitable buyer, but they must find a buyer who is happy to disregard the defender’s current injury, which is expected to keep him out until the end of September.
Valued at around £30 million, Tomiyasu, who has up to three years left on his deal, has directly contributed to eight goals in 83 games in all competitions.
