Iniesta expects Fàbregas to stay at Arsenal

(GSM) – Andrés Iniesta believes Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fàbregas will only join him at Barcelona as early as next summer.

The Spanish World Cup hero expects Fàbregas will play one more season for Arsenal in a final try to win the Premiership before he returns to his roots at the Camp Nou.

“Cesc wants to be with us, but he told me how close the Arsenal fans are to his heart,” Iniesta told the News of the World.

“He is a special player and I hope he wins the title at Arsenal this season.

“For them to win Cesc will have to stay fit and injury-free but he deserves to finish with a title.

“For all the work he has put in at Arsenal it would be a shame if it was all fruitless.

“I have seen time after time Lionel Messi win games for Barcelona when the rest of the team have not been on form and Cesc can do that for Arsenal this season.”
