Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu says he is 'not satisfied' after losing his right-back spot to Ben White but warns he will 'work hard to get my position back'... with the Japanese star failing to earn a start under Mikel Arteta

Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu has admitted he is 'not satisfied' to be out of the team this season after losing his place at right-back to Ben White - but vowed to bounce back and 'work hard' to play first team football again.

Tomiyasu arrived at the Emirates from Serie A side Bologna last season and made a good early impression, going on to start 20 times under Mikel Arteta as the club battled for Champions League football.

The 23-year-old was ruled out for a chunk of the season, however, as a he picked up a calf injury that sidelined him for nine games - and that fitness blow has affected his preparations for the current season.
