Takehiro Tomiyasu has signed a new two-year contract.
The 25-year-old Japanese international, whose current contract was set to end in 2025, has committed until 2026, with the option for an additional year.
Takehiro Tomiyasu has appeared in 73 appearances across all competitions for the Gunners since joining from Bologna in 2021.
“In addition to his natural ability and strength, Tomi’s attitude, mentality, and values are first-rate,” remarked manager Mikel Arteta.
“Tomi is well-liked by everyone and has been a valuable member of the team since joining.
“The way he trains, with his desire and determination to be the best version of himself every day, is admirable.”
Tomiyasu, who can play in any of Arsenal’s back four positions, has made 20 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring his first goal in a 5-0 Premier League victory over Sheffield United in October.
Arsenal lead the Premier League on goal differential with 10 games remaining as they seek their first title since 2004.
They play Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinals next month.
