Arsenal FC News: Arsene Wenger Looks To Get Welbeck Back On The 'Unfavoured' Flanks

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is looking to play Danny Welbeck back to where he was originally deployed as a Manchester United player - the flanks.

The England international had made known of his discontent of being played out of position, feeling that it hinders his potential to becoming a better goalscorer.

"People can say I've not scored enough goals but you see the best strikers on the wing in a four-man midfield and see if they score goals," Welbeck was quoted sometime in October.

However, there is a change of plan as far as Wenger is concerned, following the recovery of first-choice frontman Olivier Giroud.

"He played there at a young age and when you play football you get habits in the position you play," the French tactician told Arsenal.com.

"You feel at home a little bit... comfortable. He looks comfortable there because he knows what to do."

"It is linked sometimes with your preferential vision as well. We all have preferential vision and sometimes players see better on their right and sometimes players see better on the left. So when you have better right vision and you play on the left, you see the whole pitch."

Nevertheless, Wenger thinks such a move won't take away Welbeck's effectiveness in finding the back of the net.

"I think you have players who play on the flanks who score goals," he continued.

"I don't think that will stop him from scoring. He had chances the other night when he played on the left."

"Cristiano Ronaldo played all his life on the flanks and scored more goals than games he played. So I don't think that will stop [Welbeck]."
