Fran Merida has pleaded with Spanish fans not to compare him with his Arsenal teammate Cesc Fabregas.
"I have already said it a thousand times that we are different players," said Merida. "First of all, he has already played in a World Cup and a Champions League final and I am only a junior who is still learning.
"Hopefully, I can be just as successful, but at the moment I am happy to go step-by-step."
