Arsenal board actively discussing buying back Cesc

Arsenal's board are actively discussing buying back Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona.

The Mail on Sunday says Arsenal have discussed the prospect of activating their buy-back option on Cesc this summer as the midfielder prepares to leave Barcelona.

The Gunners have more urgent transfer business to address with the capture of a new right-back, defensive central midfielder and striker at the top of Arsene Wenger's shopping list.

But the idea of bringing Fabregas back to the Emirates Stadium is gathering pace behind-the-scenes at Arsenal, with the prospect of tabling an offer for the midfielder viewed as a realistic possibility.

It is understood that the clause is set at a fixed price of £25million.
