Arsenal signing Takehiro Tomiyasu has posted a farewell to Bologna.

The Japan international left Bologna after two years with the Italians to join the Gunners yesterday.

He said: "Thanks Bologna. With this shirt I lived two wonderful years, in which I grew a lot as a player and above all as a man.

"I want to say a big thank you to the whole Club, to the staff, to my teammates, to all the fans: you have been exceptional with me, I have always felt at home.

"Thanks to Bologna I can now fulfill the dream I was chasing, that is the Premier League, my great aspiration.

"I will always carry the Rossoblù in my heart and I will always follow you!"
