"Arsenal is expected to renew Tomiyas' contract. Tomiyas' current contract has 18 months remaining. Tomiyas is reportedly receiving interest from Bayern Munich. Thomas Tuchel “The manager wants him before the start of next season, so Arsenal hope to tie him down to a long-term contract,” the report said.

Tomiyasu left Bologna and joined Arsenal in the summer of 2021. He has already played as a starting defender for Bologna and has received good reviews in the Italian Serie A. Several teams expressed interest in this. Tottenham Hotspur was also mentioned as a candidate, but Arsenal became the winner.

He quickly earned a starting position at Arsenal. Tomiyasu played in 21 Premier League (PL) games in the 2021-22 season. However, his presence decreased somewhat in the past season. He played the same 21 league games, but only had six opportunities as a starter. Ben White, who was used as a center back, was placed on the right and Tomiyasu was appointed as a backup.

The situation is similar at the beginning of this season. Tomiyasu was ruled out for the season in mid-March due to a knee injury. After recovery, he is playing through the current season, but for now, he is slowly improving his condition by being a substitute rather than a starter. As of the 12th round of the league, Tomiyasu has appeared in 10 games. Among them, he played as a starter three times.

Despite this, Manager Arteta still highly evaluated Tomiyas and expressed his trust in him. He praised Tomiyasu, saying, "Tomiyasu can play anywhere in the defensive area. There is no player like that on our team."

Recently, he received attention from Munich. Munich's only first-team center backs are Minjae Kim, Matthijs de Ligt, and Dayot Upamecano. Also on the right are Nusair Mazrawi and Buna Sar, but they need solid cards. Tomiyas has a high possibility of being utilized because he can play both positions.
