Ben White reveals Arsenal teammate is ‘the best I’ve ever played with’

Ben White has revealed Takehiro Tomiyasu is the best right-back he’s played with and says his Arsenal teammate ‘does simple things at a world-class level’.

The Japan international joined Mikel Arteta’s team in a £15.5 million deal from Bologna in the summer window.




Tomiyasu has impressed in his first few months at the Emirates and has already cemented his place as Arteta’s first-choice right-back.

And White has hailed the impact his Arsenal teammate has already had in the Premier League.




‘Tomi is amazing. He’s the best right-back I’ve ever played with. He’s always focused. It’s an honour to play next to him,’ White told DAZN Japan.

‘Tomi does the simple things at a world-class level. He is very alert and he isn’t careless in games. ‘From the beginning he’s completely understood English and speaks as well as I do.’

White also moved to shut down accusations that he ignores Tomiyasu on the pitch after vidoes of him opting not to pass to his teammate circulated among Arsenal supporters on social media.

‘I read the article about me not passing to Tomi,’ said White. ‘If you aren’t familiar with football you might not understand but opponents target passes to the right-back when they press.




‘If I play the ball to Tomi he will be targeted and he might be in a situation where he has no options.

‘It’s not that I don’t want to pass to Tomi but it is the best way to build up our play so that it leads to the final third.’
