Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claimed that Cesc Fabregas is blessed with all the qualities that are required to make him one of the finest players in the world.

According to the French international, Fabregas has more maturity than what others possess at his age.

Wenger said: "I believe a midfielder's best years are usually between 24-years-old and 30.

"He is four or five years ahead of a normal player at the moment; that tells you how far he can go.

"So long as he does not suffer any major injuries, he could certainly be the best midfielder in the world.

"He gets you in touch with the true beauty of football, and the deep aspects of the game."
