Barça legend Xavi compares Arthur to himself

When you ask many Barcelona fans who the best midfielder in the club's history is, a lot of them will say Xavi, the man who won an incredible 28 trophies with the Catalan club.

Young Brazilian Arthur was brought in to fill the void left in the centre of the park by Xavi and Andres Iniesta, and it seems as though he is living up to that demand.

"I see myself when I see Arthur on television. He is a very quick thinker. He has a natural talent, but most of all, he has a lot of room to improve through training." the legendary player told 'Catalunya Radio'.

"Arthur is already a mature player and I see that he has massive untapped potential.

"The priority during any match is to never lose the ball and he comes out of a tricky situation with ease. He has a strong personality already."
