Takehiro Tomiyasu Joins Ajax on Short-Term Deal

Former Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is poised to join Dutch giants Ajax on a short-term contract that will last until the end of the season.

The Japan international is set to undergo a medical examination on Tuesday.

According to BBC Sport, Tomiyasu and Arsenal reached a mutual agreement in July to terminate his contract a year early, which made him a free agent.

Arsenal had signed defenders Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera during the summer transfer window, limiting Tomiyasu's opportunities to play in the first team.

At 27 years old, Tomiyasu has been undergoing rehabilitation following knee surgery in February, but he is now back in training and ready to resume his career in Amsterdam, contingent upon passing the medical assessment.

Sources indicate that his agreement with Ajax does not contain an option for an extension.

Tomiyasu joined Arsenal from Bologna in 2021 and made 84 appearances for the club. His last match with the Gunners occurred in October 2024, where they secured a 3-1 victory over Southampton.

Currently, Ajax is positioned fourth in the Eredivisie.
