Injuries to Laurent Koscielny and Thomas Vermaelen last season saw Arsenal struggling for cover and at times Sagna was forced to play out of position.
Further problems during the club's pre-season tour of Asia have seen the 30-year-old move across from full-back again.
Sagna has made four starts during the close-season, with two of them being at the heart of defence alongside Per Mertesacker, but he is more than happy to do that for the benefit of the team.
"Playing at centre-back started last (season)," he told the club's official website. "I just went for it and tried to adapt as quickly as possible.
"On the pitch everything is different, but I love learning.
"I see myself as a right-back but if I have to cover sometimes or play centre back, I will do it for the club, my team and myself as well."
Sagna arrived at the Emirates Stadium in 2007 from Auxerre and has played 236 times for the club.
