Cesc Fabregas Plays Down Barcelona Links

The Spanish international insists he is only thinking of helping Arsenal...

Cesc Fabregas battles Dynamo Kyiv on his debut as Arsenal captain.
Not for the first time in his Arsenal career, Cesc Fabregas has recently been linked with a move to Spanish giants Barcelona at the end of the season.

The Spanish international midfielder, who began his career in La Blaugrana's youth ranks, is back in his homeland at present as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.

This has led certain sectors of the Spanish press to speculate that he could be on his way back to the Iberian Peninsula in the summer.

The 21-year-old appears to be well aware of the rumours, which is why he has made a conscious effort to stay away from the Camp Nou.

"I'd have liked to have gone to watch Barcelona in the Nou Camp but I wanted to avoid all the speculation on my future," The Sun quote Fabregas as having said.

"Now my only worry is that I recover as soon as possible to return to Arsenal and help my team."
