Francis Coquelin on his fresh chance at Arsenal

On being compared to Patrick Vieira:

I’m not going to say to you I [can be a player similar to Vieira], obviously I want to be but I think it’s down to the performance I put in every week so I’m just trying to give me best every game so hopefully I can do that in the long term.

On profiting from injuries:

Sometimes you profit from injuries and that was what happened with me. I always had confidence in myself and belief in myself – I just need the chance. I got the chance because other people got injured and tried to grab it with both hands and do as well as I could.
