Arsenal have found a new Fabregas

After Aaron Ramseys performance for Wales against Scotland, the young midfielder is being touted as the new Cesc Fabregas.

Both Gary Speed, former Wales captain and current Wolves star and Welsh International David Edwards have added their voice to the ever growing mountain of praise.

“He is very special and lovely to watch, just a fantastic footballer. He reminded me of Cesc Fabregas, especially when he went through for his goal. If anyone can nurture a talent, it is Arsene and, in that respect, Ramsey is very, very lucky.” said Speed.

David Edwards went even further saying: “Aaron is not 19 until Christmas time so he’s going to be a great player,” said Edwards. “He’s going to be one of the best in Europe when he gets into his prime. They say he’s a little bit like Cesc Fabregas was at his age.

“I played against him last week and he was probably Arsenal’s best player. He ran the show. He’s got such a mature head for a lad of his age. He brings the best out of everyone. The way we played does give him a little bit more space and when he gets in there he’s deadly.

“He can go on to be as good as Fabregas, definitely. When Fabregas got into the team he was 16 or 17 and Aaron is only 18. Cesc Fabregas is one of the best midfielders in the world and it’s a big comparison to make. But Aaron has got little touches like Fabregas has, and when I played against him last week, for Wolves, he really did run the show and I thought – dare I say – he was better than Fabregas in that game.

“Everyone knows Aaron is going to be a great player if he can keep his feet on the floor. I think he can because he has a very mature head on his shoulders for such a young age so he’s going to be a top player. He oozes class and confidence and when you watch him on the ball he never seems rushed and he is just a joy to watch.”

Must be remembered he played well against a weak Scotland side but that still does not hide the fact that Ramsey is something special.
