Takehiro Tomiyasu has had his work permit approved and is in line to make his Arsenal debut against Norwich.

Tomiyasu had trained with his new team-mates earlier and met Mikel Arteta as he waited for the green light.

Arsenal signed the Japanese international on deadline day for £16m from Bologna. Tomiyasu is a versatile defender capable of playing at right-back or in central defence.

The 22-year-old is comfortable using both feet and is expected to slot in at right-back after the departure of Hector Bellerin.
