Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas has again declared his commitment to the Emirates.
Reacting to fresh interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid last week, the Spain international used his programme notes for Saturday's game to re-affirm his commitment to the Gunners.
"I am very happy at Arsenal and have said it many times - but I cannot control what the papers say," Fabregas said.
"When they speak for me, I cannot understand it because only my friends, family and the boss know what I think.
"It is just a story which will go on and on - even if I was to say that I would retire here.
"I am proud to be captain of this club and see my future at Arsenal."
