Tomiyasu last played a match for Arsenal a year and a half ago. He made six minutes in the Premier League for the London club last season. That is why Ajax will not sign him for longer than until the end of this season. The club states that he “first needs to gain competition rhythm”, but is fit enough to be able to fully participate in training after obtaining his visa.
