Takehiro Tomiyasu 'not satisfied' with Arsenal role and sends huge Ben White warning message

Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu has claimed he is "not satisfied" with his current role at the club, but has said he will fight for his position. It comes after a difficult start for the Japan international, who is yet to make a starting lineup in the Premier League this season.

All of his appearances so far have come from the substitutes bench, with his one start in all competitions coming in a Europa League group stage victory over FC Zurich. The 23-year-old was a key player last year for Mikel Arteta, playing as a deeper full-back that allowed the rest of the team to push forward.

However, injury troubles plagued the latter half of his campaign, with Cedric Soares often drafted in to fill his position. With the manager looking to ease him back into the side along with other returning faces, Ben White was moved to right-back instead and has taken the position for himself.
