Fabregas hails patient work of Arteta and Edu at Arsenal

I think Mikel is doing a fantastic job, said Fabregas.

Cesc Fabregas admits Arsenal should be excited for the upcoming summer after a promising summer. Gunners showed good combination in pre-season.

The North London club have made five signings including Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City, Fabio Vieira from Porto, Marquinhos from Sao Paulo and goalkeeper Matt Turner from New England.

While speaking to Sky Sports, Fabregas said: “I think Mikel is doing a fantastic job, and I think Edu is doing a fantastic job.

“Not only for what they’re doing, because when we talk about football people, Edu is a football man and he’s had the patience and he knows exactly what it takes sometimes to build a project. You cannot do it in one day or two days.

“The market doesn’t allow you to get the right player, sometimes you are too young to compete as happened at Arsenal during one or two years but I think they are mature, the younger players are not so young anymore.”
