Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas is confident that Arsenal will challenge for top honours this season.
The Spain international left the Gunners to join the Blaugrana in the summer of 2011.
"Arsene Wenger is amazing and I'm sure he will prove it again this season," he told The Sun. "He always finds the best young talent in Europe and has the courage to bring them in and give them their chance.
"That is his special talent, the way he works with a player to build their confidence and encourage them to play, to perform at their best.
"That's why I'm confident that Arsenal will again be up there challenging. I watch them every weekend because Arsenal still mean so much to me."
Arsenal are currently third in the Premier League table with eight points from four matches.
