Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is confident of holding onto skipper Cesc Fabregas.
Fabregas, 21, has been a wanted man in Spain since helping them win the 2008 European Championship - and Wenger admits he must renew the player's contract at the end of this season or risk losing him.
The Frenchman insisted: "January 2010 is a long time away. We will extend Cesc's contract at the end of the season."
