Arsenal playmaker Santi Cazorla has talked up the talents of teammates Tomas Rosicky, Jack Wilshere and Mesut Ozil.

The Gunners are currently top of the Premier League, and the Spaniard has praised the attacking midfielders for the creativity that they bring to the side.

He told the club's official website: "Ultimately it's easy to connect with guys like Wilshere, Rosicky, Mesut and all the players who play in the centre of the park. Plus I think that our style of play is ideal for me, Rosicky and Mesut as we're players who enjoy linking up in tight spaces.

"We're all different [though]. For example, Jack is a very strong player who grabs the team by the scruff of the neck, which is impressive for a player of his age. Then you have Rosicky, who is a direct player who likes to change the speed of the game. He likes quick moves and breaking down the defence with a forward run.

"On the other hand you have Mesut and I, and we are quite similar in certain areas of our games but he has a different philosophy to me. He enjoys the freedom of being the main, central attacking midfielder that sits behind the forwards, whereas I enjoy the freedom that playing wider gives me to cut inside."

Arsenal host Coventry City in the FA Cup on Friday evening.
