New Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu will be "an important member of our squad", says Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.
The 22-year-old Japan defender, who arrives on a long-term deal from Bologna, made 63 appearances in two years in Italy.
He had previously played in Japan and Belgium.
“Takehiro is a strong defender with good experience in Serie A and at international level," said Arteta.
"He’s a versatile defender with great defensive qualities, high technical ability and composure on the ball."
