Arsenal scout Francisco Cagigao is confident Cesc Fabregas won't be tempted back to Spain by Barcelona or Real Madrid. Cagigao, responsible for finding talent in Spain and Portugal, has given short shrift to interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid in Fabregas, who impressed from the first moment the Arsenal scout turned up.

"All the fuss about Barcelona and Fabregas is simply an invention of the press, to engage in this type of speculation is absurd," Cagigao told the Daily Mail.

"Even when he was 15 I was captivated by his intelligence. He was mature which is hard to find in young players. It seems he has GPS in his head."
