Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas trains hard ahead of the Champions League play-off clash with Celtic
Arsenal's underwhelming campaign last term seemed to mirror the form of Francesc Fabregas, who was perceived to be producing under-par displays, despite his accumulation of assists in all competitions, but manager Arsene Wenger believes the young skipper has improved certain aspects of his game over the summer.

Following the 6-1 drubbing of Everton and 2-0 away win over Celtic, Wenger informed the club's official website, "I do not want to put too much pressure on him but he can score goals.

"He has improved his finishing, his power in finishing as well. He was always in interesting situations offensively but he could not always finish, but he is now at an age where he can.

"He scored goals as a young boy so I can’t see why it won’t come back. It usually comes back at around 22, 23 years of age.

"He has more [license to get forward] but it depends as well on the structure of our team.

"Sometimes when Abou Diaby plays, Cesc is more defensive because Diaby is more an offensive support. So it depends, we adapt always and we try to find the right balance to the team."
