Arsenal’s recent success on the pitch is not the only area where the club is excelling; their work behind the scenes is equally impressive. Gunners’ officials have been proactive in securing fresh contracts for key players, with Takehiro Tomiyasu’s new deal already finalized. The 25-year-old Japanese defender, currently sidelined due to injury, will see his wages double to around £100,000 a week.

Ben White, another pivotal player, is on the brink of signing a new contract, expected to be completed this month. The club’s strategic approach, led by sporting director Edu, involves recognizing players’ contributions and swiftly initiating contract discussions. This proactive stance contrasts with past practices, where agents often dictated terms.

Since May last year, Arsenal has successfully secured new deals for Martin Odegaard, William Saliba, Bukayo Saka, and Aaron Ramsdale, fostering a settled and harmonious dressing room under manager Mikel Arteta’s ‘no d***heads rule.’ This approach stands in stark contrast to past instances, such as the lucrative deals for Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, which were deemed as poor business decisions.

Here is the highlight video of Takehiro Tomiyasu’s defensive skills.
