Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu could prove to be the secret weapon in the Gunners pursuit to sign Brighton star Kaoru Mitoma.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, via Caught Offside, the Gunners have Mitoma on their radar, having previously signed both Leandro Trossard and Ben White from the Seagulls in recent years.
Now, the Japan winger has been speaking about his fondness for international teammate Tomiyasu whilst admitting that he strives to play at the highest level, perhaps a hint at his desire to one day play at a top club like Arsenal.
