Takehiro Tomiyasu
27-Year-Old
Ajax
Eredivisie
Joins Ajax, ineligible for UCL
Tomiyasu has completed a move to Ajax after leaving Premier League club Arsenal but is not registered to play in the upcoming UEFA Champions League matchups against Villarreal and Olympiakos.
ANALYSIS
Tomiyasu has arrived in his third European team following his time with Bologna and Arsenal. The versatile defender showed great qualities while he was in Serie A, but recently he was limited by a serious injury which prevented him from realizing his potential in England. He'll aim to regain momentum if he returns to the field soon in the Dutch league, but he won't be an option in Champions League action until the end of the initial stage.

Gunners not keen on departure
Arsenal are not keen on letting Tomiyasu leave the club any time soon, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Even though Tomiyasu doesn't have a clear starting role in Arsenal's defensive line, such as Ben White or William Saliba, the Gunners' coaching staff rates him extremely high. In fact, it's believed that manager Mikel Arteta reportedly values his versatility to play different positions, which could lead to the Japan international staying at the club instead of looking for other options.
