Mikel Arteta believes he can help Arsenal finally deliver some long overdue success in 2012. The 29-year-old Spaniard is said to have accepted a pay cut to force through his £10million deadline-day switch from Everton.
"I know Arsenal's philosophy is always having possession of the ball and to be a really nice passing team, it's the type of football I like to play, so I can't wait," Arteta said on Sky Sports News.
"I am going there to help the team to make things better and to see if we can win something.
"Fabregas has been a terrific player, one of the best in the Premier League and [replacing him] is a big ask.
"What I want to do is start helping the team, start showing my abilities and see where we go from there."
