Francis Coquelin talks Arsenal's most impressive player and why he doesn't need to attack

The youngster has broken into the Gunners first-team after returning from a loan spell at Charlton earlier in the season.

And he has been blown away by Cazorla's outstanding technique.

He told French paper Ouest France: “At Arsenal, Cazorla. On a technical level, he is above and beyond.

"He has been here for three years, and I still don’t know if he is right-footed or left-footed…

"Laurent Koscielny is not as well-renowned in France as he should be.”

Indeed, such is the wealth of attacking talent at Arsene Wenger's disposal, Coquelin believes his role in the side is quite straight-forward.

He added: “To win the ball back, to play the ball forward quickly…

"I am difficult to muscle off, even if I am not huge. I didn’t fare too badly against Fellaini against Manchester United.

"After that, I am not really needed in an attacking sense.

"When you have Sanchez, Cazorla, Ozil, Giroud, Walcott, Welbeck in front of you… I am here to take a weight off the load on those guys there.”
