Gunners secure new Fabregas deal

Arsenal have moved quickly to secure the long-term future of teenager Cesc Fabregas as part of a three-pronged approach to cope with the departure of Patrick Vieira to AC Milan.

The Gunners have offered the 18-year-old central midfielder a new six-year contract to keep him in North London until 2011 with a significant pay rise to underline his increasing value to the club.
