da cassino: Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey has asked manager Arsene Wenger to use him in centre midfield, rather than on the wings, Express reports.
da poker: Ramsey has been deployed on the right in order for Wenger to use a midfield double pivot of Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin in recent fixtures, with the Wales international impressing in the position.
However, the 24-year-old is not a big fan of playing in that role, and hopes that he returns to his natural position sometime in the near future.

“It’s not my preferred position,” Ramsey said. “I’m a central midfielder and that’s where I like to be.
“I like to be involved a lot more in the game. When you are out wide you don’t touch the ball for three or four minutes and I like to be at the heart of everything, trying to drive the team forward.
“But the manager’s asked me to do a job out there, and I do have the license to drift in and get involved. When we are defending I have to stay in position, but when we get the ball I can drift.
“I’m not a winger, I can’t knock the ball beyond my man like Theo does, I prefer to get in the little pockets of space and get involved and play the combinations but it’s important to do a job for the team.”
The Gunners fielded the usual 4-2-3-1 formation when they faced Swansea City at the Emirates on Monday, but came unstuck against a well-organized defence.
And a late goal from Bafetimbi Gomis ended Arsenal’s 10-match unbeaten streak, with Garry Monk’s men also doing the double over the Gunners.
But, the London club will have a chance to catch rivals Manchester City to second place with their game in hand, which is a midweek clash against Sunderland next Wednesday.
