Cesc Fabregas will stay with Arsenal, says Arsene Wenger
Arsenal FC boss, Arsene Wenger, affirmed that skipper, Cesc Fabregas, would stay at the Emirates as there is no intention to sell key players.
Arsenal would need these key players with the squad this summer season as well. Fabregas has been linked with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 as the former Barca striker ruled out the possibility of playing for Barca again.
Reportedly, the demand of the Spaniard has increased and the Catalan giants are chasing the alluring striker to bring him back home.
Additionally the 27-year old, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771, are also being pursued. Van Persie and Arshavin played an important role in Arsenal’s sensational 2-1 victory over Barcelona at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
Although Barcelona played well and was in a good position after David Villa’s early opener, the agility of the Gunners created a late winning strike by Arshavin.
The Spanish giants, Real Madrid, are also said to be in line to hire the Dutch International and they might consider releasing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 along with the money.
According to reports, Bernabeu Santiago coach, Jose Mourinho, might offer 25 million pounds but Inter coach, Leonardo, said that he had the backing of the management and the finances too. Both strikers are back on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567’s radar after thrashing Barcelona.
The 61-year old French manager ruled out the imminent move of the Spaniard back to Camp Nou after Spanish media accelerated the speculations. Wenger stated that Arsenal didn’t need to sell any player for the sake of financial gain as all of them are special
and Cesc is more special to the club for his exceptional skills.
Wenger believes that Arsenal has the ability to surpass expectations in the current season of the Premier League and Champions League as they have quality players.
He said, “People reproach me, saying 'Why do you not spend stupid money?'. Now they reproach me and say, 'Why do you not sell the player'. That makes me think we have not worked too bad. We need Fabregas. Believe me. He is a special player. He is exceptional
and we want to keep them all”.
Talking to Sky Sports, Wenger asserted that Arshavin has been in a woeful run of form during the current spell of EPL but he helped Arsenal grab a close victory over Barcelona. It has been difficult for the Russian striker as he didn’t play to his potential
but the manager believes that in the last two weeks Arshavin came back strongly as he is a good player and person.
Wenger added, “He is a positive person. He is very self-critical. You highlight his attitude but I think he was happy, he scored the goal, went in, he doesn't even think about the rest”.
