Cesc Fabregas has named the three best technically gifted players at Arsenal he shared a pitch with.
The former Gunners captain himself is regarded as one of the greatest technicians of his generation.
The midfield maestro’s eye for a pass and silky technique was breathtaking to watch when he was in his prime.
It was the La Masia graduate’s technical brilliance that prompted Arsene Wenger to hand him a chance as a teenager.
During the Wenger era, the North Londoners as a whole were famed for their gorgeous style of play that was characterized by technicians such as Cesc Fabregas.
In addition, the veteran was at the club during the days of the ‘Invincibles’ as well as when the shift to the Emirates Stadium happened.
As a result, there may be no better person to name the three best technically gifted players at Arsenal during the club’s peak in the last couple of decades.
Fabregas names the 3 best technically gifted players at Arsenal during his time
In a Q&A session via Twitter, Cesc Fabregas answered a fan who asked him to name the best technically gifted player he had ever played with at Arsenal.
The ex- Chelsea midfielder named three, replying, “Bergkamp, Rosicky and Hleb.”
Fabregas left a couple of big names out of the list
Considering Cesc Fabregas played at Arsenal during the height of their success in the Premier League era, it was surprising to discover the big names he left out.
Thierry Henry, for starters.
The club’s undisputed best-ever player is universally regarded as the most skilful striker to ever grace the English game.
Another name that Fabregas did not mention is Robert Pires, who was famed for the finesse he brought to the league.
However, it is key to emphasise that Dennis Bergkamp, especially, alongside both Tomas Rosicky and Alexander Hleb were technicians of the highest order.
This just goes to show that Cesc Fabregas, just like any individual would have a hard time just naming three of the best technically gifted players at Arsenal during his heyday.
