Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has once again stated that his future is at Emirates Stadium after being linked with a move away.

Fresh rumours of a move back to Barcelona have emerged to go along with a potential shift to Real Madrid but Fabregas has no intentions of returning to Spain.

"How many times have I said this? My future belongs to Arsenal and I want to be at Arsenal. I see my future here," he insisted.

"I do not have to tell anyone to be relaxed or more confident that I am staying.

"My name has been linked with other clubs for four years, and I am still here. That should tell you something.

"If I had not come to Arsenal when I was 16, today I probably would not be playing in the semi finals of the Champions League or have the opportunity to play in a Champions League final," he added.

"I am really grateful for what Arsenal have done for me. Now it is up to me and all the Arsenal players who were brought here when they were young to achieve things for the club who believed in you and the fans who supported you.

"Now it is up to us to pay them back."
