Fabregas - The captaincy is a great honour
By Richard Clarke
Cesc Fabregas has described his elevation to the Arsenal captaincy as “a great honour”.
The Spaniard was handed the armband on Monday as a replacement for William Gallas.
At 21, Fabregas is one of the youngest captains in the Club’s long history and he admits it will be emotional experience to lead the side out for the first time against FC Dynamo Kyiv on Tuesday night.
"It is a great honour for me to captain one of the biggest clubs in the world,” said Fabregas. “It is a proud moment. I know it's a big responsibility but together with my team-mates, I know we have the spirit and commitment to get back to winning ways and fulfil our potential."
