Fab set for Nou Camp move

CESC FABREGAS’ Arsenal career looked to be over last night amid claims the midfielder has told Gunners manager Arsene Wenger he wants to leave the north London side to rejoin Barcelona.

The Arsenal captain has long been linked with a return to Barcelona, with whom he began his career, and with the Gunners having failed to win a trophy for a fifth successive season it appears the lure of a return to the club he supported as a child has become too great.

The 23-year-old, undergoing treatment in Spain for a broken leg sustained, ironically, against Barcelona in the Champions League in April, is understood to have told Wenger yesterday that he wishes to bring his seven-year spell at the club to an end.
