Arsenal part ways with defender Tomiyasu after injury-ridden season
The 26-year-old suffered multiple knee and calf injuries during his four years at the North London club, some of which sidelined him for months. He remains sidelined since undergoing knee surgery in February.
"Unfortunately, injuries have limited Tomi's time on the pitch in the past two seasons, with the defender making just one substitute appearance last season," Arsenal said in a statement.
The former Bologna player made 65 Premier League appearances for Arsenal, scoring two goals.
Arsenal, who have finished second in the league for the last three seasons, begin their 2025-26 campaign at Manchester United on August 17.
