Theo Walcott believes his 'unstoppable' Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is in the form of his life. Gunners star Andrey Arshavin has also hailed the Spain star as a 'miracle worker' after scoring one and making four goals in Sunday's 6-2 demolition of Blackburn Rovers at the Emirates Stadium. Fabregas seemed to take renewed reports of a move to Barcelona as a spur and made a point of kissing his badge when netting Arsenal's fourth. Arsenal's Theo Walcott (L) points to teammate Cesc Fabregas You're the man: Theo Walcott (left) has made a point of praising Cesc Fabregas 'He is fantastic to play with,' Walcott told the London Evening Standard. 'He will spot anything. He played the ball to me for my goal and I didn't have to break my stride. That's how good he is. He takes that much time to pass it. Cesc Fabregas passes the ball beyond Blackburn's Keith Andrews Step ahead: Cesc Fabregas passes the ball beyond Blackburn's Keith Andrews 'He is still so young and he has a lot of pressure on his shoulders but he is a fantastic person to learn from. 'It is difficult to play amazingly well throughout the whole season. He is only 22 years old but he has been around for a very long time. 'He is our captain and he is doing a great job. If he plays like he did against Blackburn, no one will be able to stop him this season.' Arshavin was equally full of praise, praising Fabregas for stirring Arsenal after a slow start that saw Rovers take a suprise fourth-minute lead through Steven Nzonzi. 'Fabregas performed miracles,' said the Russia captain. 'I think we started badly, lacked concentration, missed the goal, but thank god Thomas Vermaelen - our lifesaver - went forward and scored. 'Then it swung again, 1-2, but we quickly equalised. Everything took shape easily and freely. It all worked.'
