Fabregas, the best midfielder, says Coyle

London, Jan. 18 : Arsenal skipper and Spanish star Cesc Fabregas has been described as the best midfielder by Owen Coyle after the Gunners swamped Bolton two goals to nil.

Arsenal''s magnificent Spanish midfielder ensured Coyle had a torrid debut in the Reebok hot seat following his arrival from Burnley 10 days ago.

Coyle was gutted to be on the receiving end of a Fabregas masterclass - but quick to heap praise on the jewel in Arsene Wenger''s crown.

The Sun quoted Coyle, as saying: "Fabregas could play for anyone in world football. Barcelona or anybody, you pick them and he could play for them. He is a top, top player.

"There are different types of midfielders but for me and in terms of how I like football to be played, he is the most pleasing on the eye,” he added.

"He has everything in his locker. He has got pace and a level of composure, his finishing is of the highest standard, he has movement, anticipation, intelligence. So, to sum up, then yes he is the best in the Premier League. He is just a quality player and Arsenal are very fortunate to have him."

Gunners boss Wenger was only too happy to agree. (ANI)
