Daniel Caligiuri wants attacking role at Augsburg

Although used as a full-back on occasion, Daniel Caligiuri says he prefers to play on the wing.
Daniel Caligiuri is hoping to be given an attacking role at Augsburg following his summer move from Schalke 04.

The 32-year-old was sometimes used as a full-back at Schalke, but says he prefers to play further up the pitch.

"At Schalke, I had a good role on the right side of a five-man backline. I'm the kind of guy, who likes to be close to the penalty area. That's where I can show that I'm dangerous in front of goal," Caligiuri told Sport Bild and added:

"I prefer to play as a right or left winger or maybe in a central attacking role."

Caligiuri has put pen to paper on a contract until 2023 with Augsburg.
