Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is adamant that captain Cesc Fabregas has a 'deep love' for the club and is confident he will remain in North London for many years. As always, there is speculation that the 23-year old Spanish midfield maestro will return home to Barcelona at some stage but Wenger insists he is a bug chance of remaining at the Emirates for a while yet.

"Fabregas is a player who deeply loves the club, believe me," Wenger said.

"I believe he wants to win with this club. For how long I don't know, but I hope for many years.

"He is part of our potential to win and for how well we will do.

"You can understand he has an attraction to the club where he grew up but I'm confident we will keep him for a few more years."
