Santi Cazorla believes Arsenal’s lack of natural wingers means forward incursions by the club’s full- backs are vital to the club’s attacking philosophy. Speaking to Arsenal Player in an interview recorded before such forays freed space for Borussia Dortmund to break, score and win on Tuesday, the midfielder touched on how creating space on the flanks for the likes of Kieran Gibbs and Bacary Sagna adds an element of surprise to the Gunners game. “I believe that full backs have a pivotal role in our team. We don’t have pure wingers. “Perhaps Theo Walcott is the most natural winger in the squad. He likes to be on the wing to make use of his speed, but apart from him we don’t have natural wingers. “Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky or myself are not sticking strictly to the touchline. Therefore we open up spaces so our full backs have a corridor where they can go up and down.
