ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger insists Andrey Arshavin is capable of playing 'in every offensive position'.

The Frenchman's high praise came after the Russian forward's stunning goal that sealed the Gunners' comeback and earned all three points against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

"For me, Andrey Arshavin is an exceptional player," he told the club's website. "He can play in every offensive position for as long as he wants."

Arsenal are preparing to take on Burnely at Turf Moor on Wednesday, when they hope to close the gap even further on the leading pair of Manchester United and Chelsea.
