Fabregas wants to decide on Gunners future

(GSM) – Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has revealed that he wants his future sorted out before participating in this summer’s World Cup.

A product of the Barcelona youth academy, Fabregas has been pursued by his former employers who see him as a missing piece to their midfield puzzle.

And while the 23-year-old has insisted that he was still happy at the Premier League club but he also warned: “If I leave Arsenal it will be to play at Barcelona.”

Fabregas, who will join up with the Spain squad on May 24 to prepare for South Africa 2010, told Marca: “I want to make a decision about my future before the start of the World Cup.

“It’s impossible to perform at a tournament like the World Cup if you’re not fully focused on the sporting aspects of the game. I don’t want to be distracted by transfer talk.”

He added: “I am very happy at Arsenal and I am in no hurry to leave.”

Fabregas will decide his future this weekend after talks with boss Arsene Wenger, in which he will seek assurances regarding Arsenal’s recruitment plans for the summer.
