Arsenal boss Wenger digging in over Cesc stay

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will dig in over Barcelona's bid to prise Cesc Fabregas away this summer.

The Daily Star says Arsenal do not expect a second offer for Spain star Cesc Fabregas until a week on Thursday at the earliest - and will snub it immediately.

New Barcelona president Sandro Rosell will be officially installed on July 1, but the Gunners will tell him: "We are not interested in selling."

Wenger has already rejected a bid of around £28m for Fabregas and Rosell has let it be known he plans to up the bid to £40m.

But Arsenal insist they have no intention of letting their 23-year-old skipper leave.
