Arsenal are on the lookout for a right-back this summer in order to provide Mikel Arteta with both greater depth and variation regarding the options in the role. Currently, the Spaniard has a choice of Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Granted Cedric Soares returns this summer and football.london understands that he wants to fight for his place. However, the Portuguese simply has not proven himself of the level required for a side looking to challenge Manchester City for a title – his loan spell at Fulham did little to change this verdict on the experienced full-back.
White and Tomiyasu are far too similar and substitutions in the season which saw one replace the other failed to create any dramatic difference. A great example showed at Everton when Arsenal needed a goal, meanwhile when the Gunners want to refresh from a winning position this switch has worked.
