A number of Arsenal fans have welcomed footage of Gunners newcomer Takehiro Tomiyasu in training at London Colney.

The 22-year-old is likely to make his first appearance for Arsenal in today’s Premier League meeting with Norwich.

Arsenal signed Tomiyasu – who was also linked with Spurs – on transfer deadline day for a reported £16million.

After the international break, the Japan international met Gunners boss Mikel Arteta for the first time on Thursday.
