Arsenal

Santi Cazorla: 'Francis Coquelin one of league's best holding midfielders'

By , Reporter
Arsenal playmaker Santi Cazorla insists that teammate Francis Coquelin is one of the best holding men in the Premier League.

Arsenal playmaker Santi Cazorla has labelled teammate Francis Coquelin as one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League.

Coquelin produced a standout performance in the Gunners' midfield during their 2-0 home win over Stoke City, and Cazorla has since moved to state that the 24-year-old is a key component of Arsene Wenger's side.

"He's helped me a lot," Cazorla told the club's official website after the victory.

"He plays well, he defends well and I think he is one of the best players in this position. We are lucky because he plays for Arsenal and I enjoy it a lot with him in this position."

Coquelin has made 48 senior appearances for the Gunners.
