Arsenal youngster Harvard Nordtveit is happy to learn his trade in other positions of the defence before getting the chance to play centre-back for the first-team.
The Norweigan has had spells away from the club on loan playing in midfield, and has spent this pre-season at right-back for Arsène Wenger's side.
Although Wenger has hinted he will be signing another centre-back this summer, a move has not yet materialised and Nordtveit currently finds himself as fourth choice in that position.
Despite making Arsenal's first-team as a central defender so far, the 20-year-old believes he can make an impact in that position in the near future.
He said: "I went to Lillestrom for four months on loan and played 17 games at right back. From there I went straight to Nurnberg. I was there for ten months and played one game at centre back and 19 games in central midfield. Then I came back here and played right back.
"So I am not sure, many big players have to take the same road. Steve Bould played right back before he went to centre back, so it is a good experience to play there because when you are playing centre back you know how the right back is thinking.
"I don't think it is negative to play at right back as well."
