Arsene Wenger: 'I need Aaron Ramsey on the right'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists that he will continue to play Aaron Ramsey on the right, despite the Wales international preferring to play in the centre.

Arsene Wenger has insisted that he will continue to play Aaron Ramsey on the right, despite the midfielder preferring to play in the centre.

The 24-year-old, who has recently missed time with a hamstring injury, scored 18 goals playing in a more central role for the Gunners two years ago.

The manager told reporters: "I use Ramsey on the right. That's where I will certainly continue to use him, unless the game demands to attack. He is more an offensive player. He is not a tactical, defensive player.

"I will use him sometimes [centrally], when the game demands. I used him on the right because he gives us a balance because we have [Mesut] Ozil, who is an offensive player, we have Sanchez, we have [Olivier] Giroud or [Theo] Walcott and [Santi] Cazorla, so we need to balance a bit defensively.

"He can do it, but he can do it with Coquelin. And Cazorla can do it with Coquelin. But Cazorla and Ramsey is a bit too adventurous!"

Arsenal face Norwich City in the Premier League on Sunday.
