Fabregas: Villa Equals 30 Goals Per Season
The Arsenal midfielder has praised the attributes of his Spain colleague.
David Villa's future at Valencia has been a fervent source of conjecture, with Barcelona allegedly in pole position for his signature after Real Madrid decided to go for Karim Benzema from Lyon.
And Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas, who himself has been tipped to return to Barcelona, has no doubts that Villa would be a big hit at Camp Nou.
"He [Villa] is a player with goals, he is a player constantly looking for the goal, who scores like 30 goals per season, regardless of whether the team are fine or not," Fabregas was quoted as saying in Sport.
"And all this, to have it on your team, the truth is not everyone has."
Fabregas stressed that Barcelona will be everyone's main threat next season.
He added, "The number one rival of all Europe and the whole world are Barca, no doubt.
"They are a team already made, that have already proved everything, they have won everything and have great players."
