Takehiro Tomiyasu Excited to Join Ajax

New Beginnings for the Japan International

Takehiro Tomiyasu has expressed his enthusiasm following his transfer to Ajax. The Japanese defender’s previous contract with Arsenal was cut short a year earlier than planned, allowing him to join the Dutch club as a free agent.

A Fresh Start

“I’m truly excited to be here,” Tomiyasu shared through the club’s official platforms.

“I want to extend my gratitude to everyone who stood by me. I faced a challenging year off the field; it was a tough period. Without the encouragement from those around me, I wouldn’t be in this position now.”

The seasoned player mentioned, “I’ve put in a lot of effort and remained determined. This club signifies a fresh start for me.”

Commitment to Versatility

Tomiyasu also noted, “When I had conversations with Ajax, I quickly felt their belief in my abilities. That was a significant factor in my decision.”

He added, “I am capable of playing either as a centre-back or a full-back. Regardless of the position, I’ll give my utmost in every match. After all that I’ve been through in the past year, I know how hard I’ve trained to return even stronger. Now, I feel ready to take on this challenge.”
