Arsenal’s consistently injured midfielder Abou Diaby has hailed the impact at Arteta has had at the club and Diaby has admitted that he would love to play alongside the Spaniard in the next Premier League season....
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Abou-Diaby-c3453 has come out and made it clear that Arteta holds the key to taking Arsenal forward in the next Premier League season. The French midfielder who has been bogged down with injuries for most of his time at the Emirates
stadium also admitted that he would love to play alongside Arteta next season for the Gunners. Arsenal are currently facing a battle to hold on to their star striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380.
Arsene Wenger has revealed that he wants to keep the Dutchman at the club but Van Persie has refused to sign another deal with the London outfit which means that he can leave this summer for the likes of Manchester City, Juventus
or even Manchester United. In such a situation, responsibility will fall on Diaby and co. to make up for the loss of their talismanic forward who took them to a third place finished last season above http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Diaby himself has been disappointing as he only made five appearances for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jack-Wilshere-c17463 another promising star at Arsenal also went through the same troubles as Wenger’s squad
almost bordered on depletion.
Diaby said, "Mikel is a great player and he showed last season that he is a very important player in our team. I am looking forward to playing next to him. I personally prefer to play with three midfielders because I can go forward
and I can also defend. I think it is the position that will suit me the best."
He added, "Of course the midfield is different now because we are all different. The most important thing is to bring out singularities into the team to make it better. If we have a mix of all that, it can be a very good thing."
Arsenal will take on Sunderland in their opening Premier League fixture at the Emirates stadium on 18th of August, 2012. Arsene Wenger will hope that Diaby remains fit for the Gunners for the next league campaign as
he will be crucial to their chances of finishing in the top four.
