The Japan international defender formed part of a record-breaking summer spend by Mikel Arteta at Emirates Stadium
Takehiro Tomiyasu has sought to ease any fears regarding his fitness following a £16 million ($22m) move to Arsenal, with the Japan international defender embracing a "new start" in north London.
The 22-year-old, who can operate at centre-half or right-back, has formed part of a record-breaking summer spend at Emirates Stadium, with Mikel Arteta being backed by his board to the tune of some £145 million ($200m).
Tomiyasu arrives with plenty of potential to be unlocked, but also with questions being asked of his ability to steer clear of injury following a run of muscular problems during his time at Bologna.
