Arsenal have been one of the busiest Premier League clubs in the summer transfer window.
football.london first revealed in May that the Gunners were chasing a minimum of five signings, with a goalkeeper, two defenders and two midfielders all on the agenda for technical director Edu.
This is exactly what the Brazilian has done, adding former Sheffield United 'keeper Aaron Ramsdale, English centre-half Ben White, Portuguese fullback Nuno Tavares, Belgian midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga and Norwegian playmaker Martin Odegaard to their ranks for a combined £132million.
However, the north London club have got off to an abysmal start in the Premier League this season, losing all of their opening three league fixtures whilst also failing to score - an embarrassing feat that leaves them sitting last place in the division.
Now, Arsenal are on the hunt for some last-minute transfer business, with a right-back the main priority as Spanish defender Hector Bellerin looks set to join La Liga side Real Betis, football.london understands.
Therefore, the Gunners have been looking at Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, according to The Athletic, who claim that they are working on a deal to bring the 22-year-old to the Emirates in the coming hours.
Arsenal fans took to social media to voice their opinions on the news, with some claiming that signing the Japanese international isn't good enough. Here is how a select few reacted on Twitter.
@shujahrehman4 : "I watch Serie A regularly. He's technically sound (similar to Ben White who can play midfield) but not a proficient crosser of the ball like Tierney who whips crosses in all match. Better than nothing though."
@luisbunuel3 : "Good player imo. Might be a decent signing."
@AFCWaIter2 : "Decent I guess but not enough."
@aj_savva : "Interesting. Good player. Tottenham were certain to get him. Does play RB more than CB. MILES better than what we have at RB atm, and has a lot of potential."
@lacapemaru : "He is by far the best defender in Asia, trust me. One of the most prospective defender in the world. He usually play at centre-back, but he can also play at right-back. What a player, what a signing."
