Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas is excited about the prospects of young teammates Jack Wilshere and Fran Merida.

"For every club you can have big names coming in, but when you have a talent that comes through the youth system, I think it is one of the proudest things for a club," said the Arsenal captain.

"You have seen Jack Wilshere in those two games and Fran Merida came here from Barcelona when he was 15 - now he is 19 so he has been working with Arsenal for four years and he has improved a lot.

"When I was injured I was training a lot with the reserves, and there is some really great potential in there."
