Arsenal fans feel nauseated when they look at the Premier League table and see how their beloved club performs. Bottom of the table, still goal-less and with performances which do not guarantee survival in the Premiership. And in the midst of the chaos that is happening, on the last day of the transfer window, when everyone expects a big strong signing, Arsenal signed an anonymous Japanese defender from Bologna for 3 billion Ksh. Italian Sky and several other media houses report that Arsenal and Bologna have completed all the details of the transfer of the 22-year-old Takehiro Tomiyasu.Welcome to The Arsenal, Takehiro Tomiyasu 🇯🇵 pic.twitter.com/trL4Wq7zXW— Arsenal (@Arsenal) August 31, 2021 The fixed part of the deal will be 2.5 billion with 384 million in bonuses (the second most expensive exit transfer in the history of Bologna). Tomiyasu was on the radar of Milan, Napoli and some other clubs, but in the end, he chose Arsenal, which allegedly scanned him all summer before the decision to buy him was made. A loan was not taken into consideration, immediate purchase on serious terms was the goal straight away. Tomiyasu also caught the attention of Tottenham earlier this summer, with Spurs director Fabio Paratici who is aware of the defender’s qualities, having watched him many times in action during his time at Juventus. Japanese international is something between a centre and a right-back, and he manages best as a player who is on the right in the system with three central defenders in front of the goalkeeper.Who is right and who is wrong: Ainsley Maitland-Niles suspended from Arsenal first-team trainingWith this transfer, Arsenal’s spending in the closing transfer window amounts to an incredible 22 billion Ksh. The Gunners are the biggest spenders this summer, but it does not guarantee success as the club’s sports sector and their actions so far do not infuse confidence. At the same time, Arsenal is close to a full agreement with Real Betis for the transfer of Hector Bellerin. The Spanish captain of the Gunners is ready to leave the Emirates, considering that the club believes he has long lost his sharpness from the ‘glory’ days of Arsene Wenger. For a moment, it seemed that the job would not pass because of Bellerin’s salary, but the Spaniard even decided to accept lower income in order to leave.One can just ask – what’s going on with Arsenal?
