Arsene Wenger has said that he expects Serge Gnabry to move into the middle of Arsenal's attack later in his career.
The 18-year-old, who scored his first senior goal earlier this season, mainly plays a wide role for the Gunners.
The manager told the club's website: "I'm convinced he has the pace, the dribbling capacity and the physical potential to play wide and these kind of players are very important in the modern game.
"Of course he will certainly end up in a few years centrally because he can give a final ball as well. But we have congestion there, with many players who can play centrally.
"I have pushed many times people like [Jack] Wilshere, [Tomas] Rosicky and [Santi] Cazorla to play wide because it's an important position as well on a strategic point of view."
