Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has hit out at the Spanish press for linking him with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Fabregas said: "I am very happy at Arsenal and have said it many times - but I cannot control what the media say.

"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."
