After Ben White’s new contract was revealed last week, Tomiyasu has committed to the team as well. Earlier in the season, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka also signed long-term contracts.
“I’m so happy to extend my contract because Arsenal is one of the best clubs in the world,” Tomiyasu told Arsenal. “And it’s a dream to play for this club, so I’m happy.
“We improved a lot, because when I joined Arsenal, we were not playing in European competitions. But now we are playing in the Champions League and we are in the title race. We improved a lot.
“Hopefully, I got better than before. But you know, I’m still learning a lot of things from Mikel, from my team-mates. I still have capacity to improve. So I will try to be a better player and also a better person as well.”
The Japanese defender has developed a strong connection with Arsenal fans and is now excited to battle for the Premier League and Champions League in the coming months.
