Former Arsenal star Takehiro Tomiyasu is currently training with Crystal Palace as he plots a Premier League return, according to The Athletic . The Japanese left the Gunners in July 2025 after his contract was terminated by mutual agreement at the North London club. Tomiyasu was a key player for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta whenever he was fit, making 84 appearances for the Emirates Stadium club during his four seasons at the club. The Palace target joined Ajax last December on a six-month deal, leaving at the end of last season.
He is currently a free agent and a move to the Selhurst Park club could be on the cards. The former Gunners star could make an appearance for the Eagles in a friendly later this week. He has been training with the South London club as part of their pre-season preparations. The high-level training environment Palace is providing has come in handy for Tomiyasu as he looks to maintain and improve his fitness.
Tomiyasu made three appearances at the World Cup with Japan and will fancy his chances of impressing in the Premier League again after overcoming his injury woes.
The Eagles are not the only ones keen on the full-back, with clubs in the Championship and other European leagues also looking to recruit his services.
He will not be short of suitors even if a move to Palace falls through, but a return to the English top-flight appeals to him.
Palace are looking to replace Chelsea-bound Maxence Lacroix, and Tomiyasu could be the man for the job.
