Cesc Fabregas names current Arsenal player he would most like to play with

Former Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas has named the one current Gunners player he would most want to play with.

Fabregas was conducting a question-and-answer session on Twitter and was inundated with responses from fans, though one answer proved more popular than all others.

Asked by Adam Cooper on Twitter: "Who is one player in the current Arsenal squad you wish you could play with now and why?"

Fabregas quickly replied: "Martinelli."

Gabriel Martinelli arrived from Ituano last summer and has impressed during his first season in England, scoring 10 goals in 26 appearances.

The Brazilian's 10th goal of the campaign was a stunning 67-yard run and finish against Chelsea in the Premier League, becoming the first teenager to hit double figures in a season since Nicolas Anelka.

Sticking with Arsenal, Fabregas was asked which one word comes to mind when you think of the club. "Passion," he replied.

Fabregas was also asked about Liverpool, saying they "hit the jackpot hiring Jurgen Klopp" and then gave him "the right players and time to build something very special."
