In November 2008, Fabregas captained Arsenal for the first time. Wenger had taken away the captaincy from William Gallas and informed the supporters that it will be Fabregas who will be leading the club. It was not a major successful campaign for Fabregas though as injury hampered his campaign for the Gunners.

But Captaining Arsenal at an age of 21 was something pretty huge for a Spaniard and spoke of how highly Wenger used to rate him. Fabregas has always spoken of the influence Arsene Wenger has had over his career and credit should surely go to Wenger for bringing out the best in Fabregas.

Cesc played in England till 2011 and was later transformed into a false 9 when he played for Barcelona. Even when he returned to the Premier League, he became a deep playmaker. His best creative years were when he played the #10 role in Arsene Wenger’s team.
