Arsenal boss Wenger explains Eboue midfield role

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has explained why he likes to field Emmanuel Eboue in midfield.

After victory over Wigan Athletic, Wenger told arsenal.com: "He is a sensitive boy and an extrovert. He plays as a defender but he is a creative spirit in my opinion. That is why I used in midfield because he has good acceleration and a good dribble.

"I believe he was a bit too nervous at the start but age will help. He will get less excited and his vision will get better in the final third. He shows that now already."
