CESC FABREGAS has told Arsene Wenger he is ready to take
over the captaincy from Thierry Henry and wants to lead Arsenal to
major success next season.
Fabregas has pledged his long-term future to the club. The Spanish
international has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid,
but the midfielder insists his relationship with Wenger remains as
strong as ever and he is happy with his lifestyle in London.
Gilberto Silva had been tipped to take the captain's armband from
Henry, but Fabregas said: "I have had a lot of experience in the
Premiership and have been made captain at a very young age. I
believe that as I gain even more experience and my English becomes
better, I will not have any problem."
