Santi Cazorla: ‘Defence holds key for Gunners’

Arsenal must tighten up their defence if they are to mount a serious challenge for the Barclays Premier League title, according to Santi Cazorla.

The Gunners were one of the form teams in 2015, securing automatic qualification for the Champions League by finishing third and then retaining the FA Cup after beating Aston Villa at Wembley.

There is no doubt Arsene Wenger’s squad have the firepower to challenge the best, with the likes of Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and Spanish midfielder Cazorla feeding a formidable frontline of Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud, Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott.
