Countdown to leave the team? Arsenal seeks to terminate the contract with Fu an Jianyang early and only plays one game due to injury last season

On July 4, Handöf Arsenal, a blogger who had been exclusively revealed a few days ago, updated the transfer information, and talked about the latest situation of Japanese defender Fu'an Jianyang. According to him, Arsenal has been negotiating with Fu'an Jianyang's agent team recently, seeking to terminate the contract early. The subsequent contract with Arsenal will expire in June 2026.

Born in November 1998, Fu'an Kenyo was from the Fukuoka Hornets' youth training and played for teams such as Saint-Turden and Bologna. In August 2021, Arsenal brought him to the Emirates Stadium for a transfer fee of 18.6 million euros, and the two sides signed a four-year contract. In his first season in the Premier League, Fu'an Jianyang had a wonderful start. He was able to go left and right, his physical fitness and foot skills were excellent. He quickly became the main force of the Gunners' defense and won the Gunners' Best Player Award in September. However, the good times did not last long. Fu'an Jianyang then suffered a calf injury and was out for two months. In the end, he only played in 22 games for the Gunners, contributing 1 assist.

In the following seasons, Fu'an Jianyang also suffered from injuries many times. In the 2022/23 season, he played 31 times and contributed 2 assists, and then he was reimbursed for a serious right knee injury. In the 2023/24 season, Fu'an Jianyang only played 30 games in various games, but the data of 2 goals and 3 assists is still remarkable, so Arsenal also renewed his contract until the summer of 2026. In the just-concluded 2024/25 season, Fu'an Jianyang was reimbursed for knee surgery again, and only played one game in the whole season. And this also made Arsenal lose patience with him eventually.

In terms of strength, the healthy Fu'an Jianyang is definitely a trustworthy player in the Gunners' defense line. His versatile attributes can also make Arteta's arrangement more flexible. But unfortunately, such an excellent player has been with injuries for a long time. He only played 84 games in four seasons. In the previous two seasons of playing for Bologna, Fu'an Jianyang has made 64 appearances.

It is worth mentioning that at the end, the blogger solemnly reminded Arsenal fans that they must use words carefully when commenting on Fu'an Jianyang. "He has experienced a huge struggle and is completely an Arsenal, but he lacks the opportunity to show this in public, and it is not because he has made any mistakes." This passage also makes people doubt that the endless injuries may have seriously affected the confidence of the Japanese defender.

At present, Saudi Arabia has contacted Fu'an Jianyang's agent team to discuss franchise matters. If you can play football at Sha Yilian, which has a relatively low intensity, it may be of some help to Fu'an Jianyang regain its form. And his fate with the Gunner may end here.
