Medical scheduled as Arsenal move quickly to close in on deadline day signing

Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is reportedly set to undergo a medical in Italy today as he looks to complete a deadline day transfer to Arsenal.

The Japan international was linked with the Gunners by the Athletic earlier this morning, and it looks like things are moving fast as there’s now been another key update.

According to the Telegraph, Tomiyasu is now due to have his medical with the Gunners, with the north London giants said to have moved quickly for this deal.

Similarly to the Athletic, the Telegraph claim that Hector Bellerin could still be leaving Arsenal today as they move for a new right-back to replace him.
