Fabregas: We are hungry for success

12 April 2012

Cesc Fabregas has warned Arsenal's Barclays Premier League rivals that the Gunners are determined to prove people wrong this season.

Arsene Wenger's young stars currently top the table and will be looking to increase their one-point advantage against Portsmouth on Boxing Day and Everton on Saturday.

"The team is hungry and wants to achieve something," Fabregas told Sky Sports News. "We want to achieve a lot of things over the next 12 months. If we could win everything that would be perfect - but the Premier League is the competition that would be amazing to win."

Fabregas also believes the departure of Thierry Henry has brought an era of opportunity for a group of players who had been playing in the shadow of the great French forward.

"I have more responsibility than before," he added.

"When you looked at Arsenal a year or two years ago, you just saw Thierry Henry. It was a little bit like the other players did not exist.

"But when he left it was an opportunity for everybody to show we are a team and a good club.

"Even if the best player in the world is leaving us, we can still achieve something."
