Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has heaped praise on Takehiro Tomiyasu's ability with both feet.
Tomiyasu joined from Serie A outfit Bologna back in August of last year and enjoyed an excellent start to his career with the north Londoners, registering seven clean sheets in 16 Premier League stars. However, his debut campaign was derailed by injury and had been resigned to the treatment table for the last few months.
But the Japanese international made his return to action last Saturday, coming off the bench during the Gunners' 3-1 win against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium. Despite winning, the match against United showed the defensive frailties of Portuguese youngster Nuno Tavares, who has been filling in for the injured Kieran Tierney in recent weeks.
