Mikel Arteta’s new role for Takehiro Tomiyasu could prove to generate a handsome amount of money in the upcoming transfer windows. The Japanese international was tasked with playing at left-back against Liverpool.
And the natural right-back was sensational as he was able to keep Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah quiet throughout the match. It showed that in the long term, Tomiyasu could be the third left-back option for Arsenal.
With the Gunners already having two recognised players in this position, it means that Nuno Tavares can be used as an asset rather than a squad player for the future. It is due to this that Arsenal can generate funds from the Portuguese international, especially after his impressive start to life at Marseille on loan.
