Fabregas to fill Vieira void

Cesc Fabregas is confident he can help fill the midfield void left by the departure of Arsenal skipper Patrick Vieira.

With just a few weeks of the transfer window remaining, manager Arsene Wenger has yet to sign a direct replacement for his long-time enforcer, who decided to call time on his illustrious Highbury career this summer and join Juventus in a £13.75m (€20m) deal.
