Cesc Fabregas is quietly confident that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will soon sign a new contract.

Fabregas said: "We all hope he is going to stay because I do not think this club would have the same philosophy of playing football [without him].

"He has brought most of us here and given us the opportunity - but we do not have to worry about that.

"It is his future and he can decide for himself, but we all believe he is going to stay for a lot of years."
