Kevin Campbell has said on Highbury Squad that Arsenal right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu deserves more praise.
What’s the story?
The former Arsenal striker has said that Tomiyasu is going under the radar.
The Sky Sports pundit believes that the 23-year-old Japan international has shored up the defence on the right.
Campbell said: “I think Tomiyasu is going on about his business nice and quietly. Nobody talks too much about, although they respect his defensive qualities. Let’s be honest. He has shored up that leaky right-hand side of our defence.”
Takehiro Tomiyasu is an Arsenal star
Tomiyasu himself said this week that Tottenham Hotspur wanted to sign him before he moved to Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
In our view, Arsenal are a better team with the 23-year-old in it.
The former Bologna star, who can also play as a central defender, has hit the ground running at the Emirates Stadium.
Tomiyasu is defensively very good and is brilliant with his headers.
The youngster is also able to contribute in attack.
What is remarkable about Tomiyasu is that he is only 23.
Yes, only 23.
This means that Tomiyasu can only get better in the coming years.
Arsenal have signed a gem in Tomiyasu, who has made seven appearances in the Premier League so far this season.
For Arsenal to be successful this season, the right-back will have to be on top form throughout.
