Tomiyasu, 24, made a storming start to life at the Emirates after completing a transfer from Bologna back in the summer of 2021, but the Japanese international was usurped at right-back by Ben White and suffered an injury-hit campaign last term. The defender admitted back in July that he had lost his confidence after falling behind White in the Arsenal pecking order. But after impressing for Japan in their wins against Germany and Turkey, Tomiyasu is confident those issues are behind him. Speaking after the 4-2 win over Turkey on Tuesday, Tomiyasu told Football Zone: "I had to convince myself, or rather, I needed to give myself confidence. In that sense, I felt like I needed to regain my confidence. I wondered if it has become a problem. "But at Arsenal it's different, so if you ask me if I can just do that at Arsenal, that's a different story. At Arsenal, too, I need to do my best to secure a spot in the squad." Although Tomiyasu started the season behind new signing Jurrien Timber at right-back, he has an opportunity to reclaim his spot in the Arsenal team after Timber sustained a serious knee injury on his Premier League debut. Join the debate! Do you think Tomiyasu should be in the Arsenal first-team? Let us know here. Tomiyasu has his sights set on re-establishing himself under Mikel Arteta ahead of the next round of international fixtures in October, but he is aware that he has to build on his international performances once he returns to London. He added: "I'd like to say that, but I gained a lot of confidence from the way I played in these two international matches. My days at Arsenal are really demanding, so if you ask me if I'm going to regain my confidence completel){kind=link}
