Takehiro Tomiyasu, a 27-year-old Japanese defender and free agent, is training with Crystal Palace. The Premier League club is in Italy for the Como Cup and is evaluating him for a potential signing. Tomiyasu may take part in a friendly match this week. It is reported that he is interested in a return to the Premier League but has not yet made a final decision on his future. He is said to be one of several defensive players being assessed by Crystal Palace. From Serie A, Venezia is also interested in signing him. It is reported that Venezia has reached an economic agreement with him, but the club must wait for a non-EU player slot to become available. Sassuolo and Torino had previously shown interest in Tomiyasu but have since pursued other targets. The defender has 46 caps and one goal for Japan. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €5.00m.
