Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin is happy to fight for his place at right-back.

Bellerin is currently the first-choice right-back for the Gunners, having displaced France international Mathieu Debuchy last season, and thinks competition keeps the squad performing at their highest levels.

"I think the competition in every single position in the team is really strong. That's going to make the team train harder, perform better and grow as players," the 20-year-old told Arsenal's official website.

"We have to give our best. We know we can't relax, we know we can't take our starting position for granted when we have it.

"I think it's very good and all the successful teams have that kind of battle in every single spot because that keeps you on your feet and makes you perform better."
