The second January signing has been Confirmed ✅: Arsenal finalized the purchase of a £65 million world-class superstar, with a club agreement reached last night for a four-year deal and an announcement this morning.

According to Fabrizio Romano of GIVEMESPORT, Arsenal stars Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White are in “advanced” contract extension talks. A deal is expected to be finalized soon.

In recent months, the Gunners have prioritized extending the contracts of their most important players, and Romano thinks White and Tomiyasu will be the next in line. White’s contract expires the following season, while Tomiyasu’s expires in the summer of 2025. Nevertheless, given their strong performances for the north London club, it is anticipated that both players would receive contract extensions.

Arsenal is currently on course for additional contract extensions.

With several of its key players agreeing to new contracts, Arsenal has adopted a clear strategy in recent weeks and months. Following the signing of new contracts by William Saliba, Gabriel Martinelli, and Bukayo Saka with the 2022–23 Premier League runners-up last year, it now looks like two more players will enjoy the same privileges.

Among them is Tomiyasu, who has made “promising” steps to get fresh contracts, according to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth. The credible source revealed to GIVEMESPORT that the Japanese international, who cost £22 million to acquire from Bologna in the summer of 2021, is presently in negotiations with the Arsenal administration and that no problems with the contract extension are anticipated.

Despite never truly being able to settle into a starting role, the 25-year-old has shown himself to be a valuable member of Mikel Arteta’s team, making 73 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions since his arrival three years ago. Furthermore, Arsenal may benefit in the long run from finalizing the extension as soon as feasible because Tomiyasu’s current contract is scheduled to expire in 18 months.

Arsenal has plenty of time to plan a renewal, but considering how important he is to Arteta’s squad, it is not surprise that the front-runners have moved quickly to secure his services. Given how crucial White is to the Gunners’ defense and the fact that he has played in all but one of Arsenal’s Premier League games this season, it is imperative that he is content and at ease with his deal at the Emirates Stadium.
