Cesc Fabregas : Best player in the World?
Is Cecs Fabregas the best player in the world? Well I'm sure a large majority of fans in England at the moment would agree with me. The 20 year old Spaniard is playing out of his skin at the minute and is already being tipped to emulate the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo last year by winning both the young player and player of the year awards. Signed by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger back in 2003 from Spanish giants Barcelona, very few people had heard of the name Francesc Fabregas. But many people trusted Wenger that this boy would be good after the previous examples of the likes of Theirry Henry and Patrick Vieira.
He made his debut for the Gunners on October 2003 when they faced Rotherham United in the League Cup at Highbury. He became Arsenal's youngest ever player in doing so at just 16 years and 177 days. He later became Arsenal's youngest ever goalscorer when scoring from close range during the 5-1 hammering of Wolves in the League Cup. It wasn't until the 2004-2005 season did he make his Premiership debut due to an injury to then club captain Patrick Vieira. He made an immediate impact by scoring in one of his first games in the league against Blackburn.
In the Champions League he became the second youngest goalscorer when scoring in Arsenal's 5-1 win over Rosenborg. When Vieira departed after that season that gave Fabregas a chance to grab a first team spot which he duly took. He went on to make 49 appearances in all competitions in that seasons impressing both fans and pundits alike. He was the centre of a lot of transfer speculation that summer because of these excellent displays and a lot of the talk was that he was going to move back to his native Spain and either join Real Madrid or his former side Barcelona.
He latter signed a massive eight year deal with the club to show his commitment to Arsenal and that ended the speculation over his future. Although the 2006-2007 season turned out to be trophy less for Arsenal, Fabregas emerged as one of the shining lights of the season. He was named in the 2006 UEFA team of the year for his efforts in getting his side to the final. He was nominated for both the PFA Players Player of the year and the PFA Young player of the year awards. He was also voted Arsenal's player of the year last year, with a whooping 60% of the votes.
He has began this season in incredible style and has already bagged six goals in all competitions and has notched up numerous amounts of assits. In the majority of matches he has played this season he has taken the Man of the Match awards with his sublime performances in the centre of midfield for the Gunners. Now I do realise that I may be getting a little carried away with myself by saying he is the best player in the world but I believe, from the performances I have seen from the player over the past two years or so he has the potential to become the best player in the world.
So my question is, at the moment is Cesc Fabregas the best player in the world?

I remember when Zinedine Zidane played at his best and thought how could anyone step up to that level again. But I really can't think of any games after Vieira left that Cesc hasn't performed well, and I honestly mean that Cesc has been just as good as Zidane at many occasions. I wonder how he'll be at the age of 28...

Cesc is going all at it this season. 9 games, 7 goals and 7 assists, and some of those have been high quality goals, and all of them have been great assists.
He might not be the best in the world, since he's only 20, but within the next couple of years he sure as hell will be.
Statistics are on his side at the moment, but as long as he keeps his fitness up, like he has done so far, he should be shooting up in the world of football.
