Fabregas future edging towards conclusion

WORLD CUP winner Cesc Fabregas will jet off for a well-earned break knowing his future must be resolved one way or another once the rest of the Arsenal squad return from their pre-season training camp in Austria.

The Arsenal captain may have dismissed his Spanish team-mates bundling him into a Barcelona shirt during their victory celebrations as “nothing”, but the whole incident has left many Gunners fans less than impressed – with some groups now debating whether the 23-year-old should remain as skipper if he did stay on.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who was back at the club’s training ground yesterday, may have told Fabregas to concentrate on the World Cup when informed by his talisman he wanted to return to the Nou Camp, but now as the focus has switched to the future of their side, the Premier League club hold the upper hand.
