Jeff - The position that I thrive in

Jeff Reine-Adelaide

By Connor Armstrong

He is one of our most exciting youngsters, but Jeff Reine-Adelaide’s best position remains up for debate.

The France Under-19 international made his first-team debut on the left wing against Sunderland last season, but has since featured on the right and also at No 10.

“I prefer to play in the middle of the park, as I feel most comfortable there,” Reine-Adelaide told Arsenal Player. “I get more touches on the ball, which is good as I’m a playmaker and I like to create chances for the team. I can also play out wide, but my favourite position is in midfield.

“It helps cohesion in the squad when you have players who are comfortable in several positions and we have a few at the club who have that versatility.

“They bring a lot to our game. They can break through a defence, make all kinds of passes and also defend in various positions on the pitch so they offer a lot.

“We don’t always put ourselves in another player’s shoes. When you play in various positions you begin to appreciate the challenges of playing in different places on the pitch.”
