African winger to go round, arrowing crosses over: just headers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

touraco

'african winger' is the definition.
(I know that touracos are native to Africa)

'go round arrowing crosses over just headers' is the wordplay.
'go round' becomes 'tour' (I've seen this before).
'just headers' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'arrowing crosses over' is 'aco'.
'tour'+'aco'='TOURACO'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for touraco that I've seen before include "African wildlife" , "Brightly coloured, crested bird of cuckoo family" , "18's [BIRD]" , "brightly-coloured bird" , "African bird; our coat (anagram)" .)
