Cesc Fabregas took some time out to visit Arsenal Soccer School in Dubai. Kids aged from 5 to 18 are trained by UEFA-licensed coaches there. And those kids had a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet their favourite club’s captain.
Fabregas was also pleased with the school and it’s coaches, especially the fact that the kids are taught to play ‘the Arsenal way”:
“I think it is wonderful that the children in Dubai are getting the chance to learn from world-class coaches.
“The coaching is based around the same principles that Arsene Wenger teaches us in the first team. This is a great chance for children to realise their potential while having great fun at the same time.”
Vermaelen up for the challenge of playing in the Premier League
Ajax captain Thomas Vermaelen has confirmed there are talks going on with Arsenal.
The Belgian has been strongly linked with Arsenal in the past few days and now finally the player himself has admitted there is something concrete taking place:
“In the coming days there will be more talks. Moving to Arsenal is the right path for me.
“It is a great sporting challenge and I will also be financially better off.
“I think everything is going to be okay.”
He sure seems happy but would you be happy if Vermaelen is successfully signed?
