Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta
says that Aaron Ramsey
reminds him of Cesc
Fabregas and feels that his
team-mate will only keep
improving.
The Welshman scored
scored a late winner against Crystal Palace on
Saturday, six days after helping his side to win the
Community Shield with a goal against Manchester
City.
Ramsey enjoyed
a coming-of-age
season last year
with 16 goals
before injury
hampered his
campaign and
Arteta has hailed
the midfielder's
character
following past
setbacks in his
career.
"Aaron's on fire,"
he told reporters.
"A player like this
coming from midfield to score that many goals gives
you something extra.
"He reminds me a bit of Fabregas when he was
here. At his best, Fabregas was coming off the front,
making the final ball and scoring very important
goals.
"I think he will get better with experience and
confidence. People fear him now because they
know he can create things and that gives you an
extra yard, which is very important.
"He showed great character as people used to be
against him. The manager backed him big time. We
don't have someone to score 30 or 40 goals so
players who can score from the middle is very
important."
