Conference League champions Crystal Palace have finalized the signing of Japanese international Takehiro Tomiyasu on a free transfer. The 27-year-old defender joins the club after a successful trial period, becoming manager Pierre Sage's second summer acquisition following Oscar Mingueza.
Tomiyasu, who is capable of playing both as a full-back and a central defender, spent four years at Arsenal. The defender spent the second half of last season on loan at Ajax and was part of Japan's squad at this summer's World Cup.
On the international stage, Tomiyasu has earned 46 caps for his country to date. He will wear the number 17 shirt for the "Eagles."
"I can't wait to start playing for Crystal Palace. This club is in a strong period, having won three trophies in two seasons. This is where I wanted to be," the Japanese player stated.
