Cazorla Admits It Was 'A Pity' Arsenal Didn't Sign Suarez, But Where Would He Fit Into Current Crop?

Santi Cazorla is an incredible player and a wonderful outlet to watch. He is crammed full of creativity, tricks and flicks and on his day can be almost unplayable. So, you'd expect when he heaps praise upon another player that it would be well-earned, and with the kind words that he shared about Liverpool's Luis Suarez it'd be hard to argue otherwise. The Spaniard has said that 'it was a pity' that the Uruguayan didn't sign for Arsenal in the summer, but where would he have fit in?

"Suárez is incredible," Cazorla told the Guardian.

"I'd have loved it if he had come; his style would have suited us. Arsenal did all they could and he wouldn't have minded. But Liverpool didn't want to sell, which they're entirely entitled to do, and he's playing incredibly again.

"It's a pity he's not on our team!"

But if he had signed, or signs any time soon, then where would he fit into the current set up?

The main thing that stands out about the little South American is his flexibility - an asset that would potentially suit Arsenal perfectly. In their 4-2-3-1 formation the three in front of the centre-forward are all very interchangeable and drift in and out of positions, something which Suarez is the master at.

He can play as the spearhead, on either flank or even just behind the striker, and teamed up with Cazorla and Mesut Ozil it would have the Gunners side looking like real contenders.

He would, of course, also add goals. He scored 30 goals in all competitions last season and has scored eight goals in just six appearances this time out - the same as Giroud, Ozil and Cazorla combined.

The words muttered by the Spaniard may have been said in jest or perhaps tongue in cheek, but he certainly had a point.
