Valderrama Impressed By Young Talent

Legend Carlos “El Pibe” Valderrama says that LA Galaxy may have found a special player in the form of Johnny Chavarria, who is regarded as a player with great potential. The defensive midfielder was spotted by the LA Galaxy officials using the MLS talent search. Despite being only 16 years old, he impressed heavily with his ability to understand the role and its responsibilities. The player also has an impressive pace, which has prompted Valderrama to say that the youngster appears to have a great future. Along with former greats like the Mexican goalkeeper, Martin Zuñiga, Valderrama was in attendance to see the young talents.

Valderrama was especially impressed with his ability to distribute the ball evenly by holding a balanced position in the midfield. He says that it is very important for players playing as a defensive midfielder to have good distribution. Valderrama was also impressed with the way he challenged for the ball when he did not have possession. Chavarria currently plays for Las Vegas Gunners, but he is widely expected to move to a top team in the near future. After hearing the comments from the soccer legend, Chavarria stated that he is extremely motivated and wants to become a champion in the future.

“He has a great future. He has great presence on the field, and he’s a fighter. But what impressed me was mostly his technical skill. It’s not really that easy at that age to know that position, but he has a good stance on the field, and when he has the ball, he able to distribute evenly. It’s very important for a team to have that position, that player able to hold the ball and distribute the ball, and when his team doesn’t have the ball, he’s a challenger. He goes out there and tries to obtain the ball,” said Valderrama.

Fabianski Ends Career With A Strong Finish

Lukasz Fabianski’s final match of his Arsenal career ended with a trophy after he helped his team win the FA cup, which was their first major trophy in nine years. Fabianski has been chosen as the cup goalkeeper by Arsene Wenger this season. This was in a desperate attempt to keep him at the club. The Polish international was out of contract at the end of the season. However, he stated several months ago that he was set to leave the club in search of regular first-team football, which was proving hard due to the form of Wojciech Szczesny.

Fabianski saw his team win the FA Cup after a 3-2 victory over Hull city in the final. The 29-year-old has already rejected the offer of a new contract, but Arsenal are expected to return with any offer in the next few days. Fabianski has said that there is still a long way before he can be persuaded to sign the deal but if he has indeed played his last game for the club, then he leaves in the best possible manner. He has done his reputation no harm after a good campaign in which he has done the job when called upon.

It is thought that it has several offers from Spain and Italy.

“It feels great, it feels amazing. I don’t know how best to express my emotions but it feels amazing. It was probably my last game for Arsenal. I don’t know what I can say, but if I end my Arsenal career in that way then it is the best way to finish. It is a massive relief because it has been a long time without a trophy, especially after that kind of game when we were 2-0 down in the cup final,” said the goalkeeper after the match.

WENGER SEES GREAT FUTURE

Arsene Wenger is optimistic about the future of Arsenal despite whatever happens at the end of the season. Arsenal has not been able to secure a trophy since 2005 but things can change for the Premier League club when they face off against Hull City on May 17.

After dropping points and getting a series of negative results, Arsenal lost their pace for the league title and will now have to settle for the FA Cup. Lately Wenger has been under excruciating pressure and more criticism than usual as the fans of the club want them to lift a trophy as it has not happened in a long time.

Arsenal To Reward Ramsey

Arsenal has announced to reward their Welsh star Aaron Ramsey with a whopping 1, 00,000 pounds-a-week deal. Post the deal, Ramsey would come up as the 2nd highest paid player of the elite club behind Ozil (Mesut) and this only echoes the dapper Welsh’s growing significance in Wenger’s squad.

It’s certainly a big deal for the young 23-year-old player since he has been able to achieve the heightened status within less than eighteen months of his previous contract.

Albeit Ramsey had to miss out on the games for last couple of months given serious thigh injuries yet presently he is just back to training. The latest deal would simply double up his salary.

Along with Ramsey Santi Carzola has been also offered a high paying long-term contract with Arsenal. Wenger’s club has reported to reward Santi with a 80,000 pounds-a-week deal. The Spanish international, who was signed with 15 million pounds in 2012, has proved to be one of the most stalwart picks by Wenger.

Besides, Arsenal has also received support from two of its most loved players, Per Mertesacker & Thomas Rosicky. Both the German & Czech soccer stars have pledged futures to Wenger’s squad with improved contract extensions. While Mertesacker’s & Risicky’s contract formalities have been finalized, Arsenal is soon to seal the fresh escalated deals with Ramsey & Carzola are to be made official soon. Both the young players have readily agreed to the new deals from Arsenal.

However, Wenger is about to lose Bacary Sagna as the French star declined to come in terms with a new proposed contract from the club. Sagna would be out of Arsenal by the completion of the present season. As per the speculations, he is most likely to sign up with Inter Milan this summer.
