Arsenal COMPLETE signing of Bologna and Japan defender Takehiro Tomiyasu as club arrange to fly out a doctor for a medical as last-gasp deal is sealed on deadline day

Arsenal have completed the signing of Bologna defender and Japan international Takehiro Tomiyasu on deadline day.

Tomiyasu, 22, can play centre half and right back – and with Hector Bellerin and Ainsley Maitland-Niles both unsettled, a decision today may free up an exit for either of those players.

However, Everton are said to have dropped their interest in Maitland-Niles.
