Barcelona have again turned up the heat on Arsenal over their pursuit of Cesc Fabregas.

The Sun says the Catalan giants vice-president Alfons Godall last night insisted the Gunners skipper will end up at the Nou Camp.

He said: "Sooner or later Cesc will end up coming back. We are a club that can sign players because we are respected and solvent."

The European champions have made no secret of the fact they want to recapture Fabregas, who left the club when he was 16.

Godall is one of the two main candidates for the June 13 presidential election and is the favourite to succeed Joan Laporta.

The other main candidate, Sandro Rossell, is also a huge fan of Fabregas.
