Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira has insisted he is willing to fight for his place.

The Uruguayan has made just two Premier League starts this season with a total of 202 minutes on the pitch and 518 minutes on the sideline - a worrying statistic for the 23-year-old.

When asked on his thoughts about the season, Torreira said: "I don't know whether I'd say it's frustrating.

"All players want to play, they obviously want to be in the starting XI – that's completely normal. But that's not something that depends on me.

"It's down to the coach to make those decisions and really I have to respect that. Right now it's about not giving up.

"You have to continue working hard and whether I'm playing in the starting XI or from the bench I want to give my all for the team. That's the kind of player I am.

"I like to give 100 per cent for the shirt to help my team-mates and to give the fans something to cheer about."
