Arsenal have launched a broadside at Barcelona over their pursuit of Cesc Fabregas.

The Sun says Arsenal have released images of him in the new Gunners away shirt.

The Spain midfielder is wanted by the La Liga giants but Arsenal are determined to keep their skipper.

Fabregas, 23, wants to return to his hometown club after the World Cup but the Gunners have turned down a £25m offer.

New Barca president Sandro Rosell, who takes over from Joan Laporta next month, said: "When we get together, Laporta will explain at what stage the Cesc situation is at.

"If negotiations are advanced we will continue with the negotiations."
