After taking over from Patrick Vieira in Arsenal’s midfield, Cesc Fabregas has taken over another mantle from the former club captain – endless links to a move to La Liga.
But after denying rumours of his agent speaking with Real Madrid, ol’ Cescsy was less quick to dismiss a move back to his hometown club that Wenger nicked him from originally – Barcelona,
Cesc said: ‘I do not know where I am going to be in two, three or four years,’ he said.
‘I am 19. I am only young and I have much more to learn. It is obvious that I am very happy at Arsenal, but I cannot predict what will happen in the future.’
Fabregas has a Catalan girlfriend and his family live in the area, something that has led to the ace confirming that he will finish his career in Spain.
‘My girlfriend is Catalan and I expect that I will finish my career playing back in Catalunya,’
Hardly the sort of “SELL ME PLEASE” bollocks that Arsenal had to put up with from Jose Reyes, but it’s also not quite as comforting as Gunner fans will have hoped even if he is happy for now. The lad has quickly become arguably the most important player to the club as he dictates their tempo and play. 19 year olds who are amongst the best players in world in their position are hard to replace, even for Arsene Wenger.
