Fabregas: I would gladly return to Arsenal in future

Cesc Fabregas

Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas has hinted at a possible return to Arsenal in the future after admittting he still holds the Gunners high in his heart. The Spanish midfielder left the North London club last summer, returning to his boyhood club Barcelona after spending quite some time with the Gunners.

Fabregas was clearly hungry for trophies and that was definitely one the major motives behind his intention of returning to Catalonia. Nevertheless, Fabregas has left the door open for a possible return to Arsenal in the future despite many regarding his tenure with Arsenal as a not-so-productive one in terms of silverware.

“If I have to leave Barcelona, I will go back to Arsenal – I would like to,” Fabregas told Sky Sports News. “I am not embarrassed to say that the day I left I could only say ‘Thank you very much’, I couldn’t say more.

“I’m not embarrassed to say that I nearly cried. Arsene Wenger, I have never met someone that loyal. He is one of the best, I really believe that.”

After a long transfer saga between Arsenal and Barcelona, Fabregas was finally transfered to the Catalans for a fee worth around 25 million. Since then, the Spanish midfield maestro has notched up eight goals and five assist in 12 La Liga appearances so far.
