Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen has revealed Cesc Fabregas was "determined" to force through a move to the club "in his DNA", Barcelona.
The 23-year-old dominated the back pages during the summer as the Primera Division champions fought to bring him back to Camp Nou. After two bids were knocked back by the Gunners, Fabregas committed his future to the club for this season at least.
Vermaelen says his skipper had "more or less confessed" his desire to head back to his native Spain.
He is quoted as saying by talkSPORT: "Cesc carries Barcelona in the heart, in his DNA...therefore it is impossible for him to forget about them.
"He was determined to go to Barca last summer, he more or less confessed it in the dressing room. But that is past history.
"Now he is 100 per cent ready to put his all in to a great season with Arsenal."
