AS Monaco midfielder Cesc Fabregas admits he doesn't consider his time with Arsenal a success.

Cesc was club captain at the Gunners before eventually returning to Barcelona.

He told the Daily Star: "It's difficult to value achievements regarding trophies.

"Last year we didn't win a trophy but qualifying for the Champions League, playing in the cup final against PSG and competing in the league was already a big achievement.

"I felt proud to be with this group of players and the staff around the club and achieving good things. You have to think that when I arrived at this club in January 2019 they were second last with 13 points.

"We were there and we raised the level a lot by doing the good things in general at the club. We have a new training ground and new sporting director a new coach and new staff so things are growing in the perfect direction.

"We are competing well we have good young players and a really good team and this is what football is about

"I know everything seems to be trophies, and don't get me wrong I thought like this at some point as well when you pay for a big team you need to win trophies this is the way is if not it feels like you failed.

"But I think for the first time in my career you can feel that achieving something that is not a trophy can be as valuable as a trophy in a big team.

"You just need to understand where you are at any moment and take it from there to try and achieve the targets that the club want you to achieve."
