Cesc Fabregas has hinted he would be happy to stay at Arsenal for the rest of his career.

Barcelona are eager to take their former youth team player back to the Camp Nou, with speculation over a mammoth bid never far from the tabloid’s rumour pages.

The Spanish international has always maintained he is happy at the Emirates Stadium, and he has now revealed it is not unrealistic to suggest he will never leave the Gunners.

"I have never really thought about it, staying here all my life, because I am only 22 and you never know what your career will bring - but why not?” said Fabregas.

"It is my seventh season now, I am really happy, better than ever, so you never know. I am at a great club, with a great team and am happy.”
