Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has likened Abou Diaby to former Gunners captain Patrick Vieira.
After Diaby's performance in Arsenal's victory at Newcastle United, Wenger said: "He has similarities with Vieira and he is still growing at the moment.
"He is only 22, but he has the same stature, the same size as Patrick. There is still a lot of room for him to get where Patrick was, but he is a good role model."
