Edu set for major transfer windfall as Mikel Arteta trials Takehiro Tomiyasu in new Arsenal role

Arsenal could be set for a significant transfer windfall in the January transfer window thanks to Takehiro Tomiyasu performing in a new role under Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners have enjoyed a sensational start to the new season and currently sit top of both the Premier League and their Europa League group. Tomiyasu missed the majority of pre-season through injury and has been playing catch up ever since, having lost his starting spot in the team to Ben White.

Arteta has shuffled the pack in defence following the return of William Saliba, the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney's recovery from injury. Nuno Tavares was allowed to leave the club on a season-long loan deal and has impressed during his time at Marseille so far this season, but it looks as though the Portuguese defender could be a fourth-choice left-back upon his return next summer.
