"Former Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is set to join Dutch giants Ajax on a short-term deal until the end of the season. The Japan international is scheduled to undergo a medical on Tuesday. BBC Sport revealed in July that Tomiyasu and Arsenal had reached a mutual agreement to terminate the versatile defender's contract a year early, making him a free agent."
"Arsenal signed defenders Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera in the summer, meaning Tomiyasu's first team opportunities would be limited. The 27-year-old has been completing a rehabilitation programme following knee surgery in February, but is now back training and poised torestart his career in Amsterdam, provided he passes a medical. Sources have indicated his agreement with Ajax does not include an extension option."
