Santi Cazorla wants to play through the middle for Arsenal.

Cazorla was excellent as the Gunners beat Stoke 3-0 at home on Sunday.

And now the 31-year-old wants an extended run there.

"I always try to make goals," Cazorla told Arsenal Player. "It's important for me because I am a midfielder and I always want to help the team score, and I will try to make more before the end of the season.

"I have more space [in the middle], more possibilities to score and assist, and I like this position very much. I always can help the team and I love when I play in the middle.

"I want to continue to play at this level for the rest of the season. I always want to help the team with goals. I hope to score more until the end of the season. It's very important for me and the team."
