Fabregas will not be doing a Ronaldo

Cesc Fabregas wants Champions League success with Arsenal and will not be following Cristiano Ronaldo to Spain or moving anywhere else. "Of course I see my future at Arsenal. I have a very long contract with the club," the Gunners skipper said in an interview with ArsenalTV Online, which was conducted before Thursday's official announcement on Ronaldo's impending move from Manchester United to Real Madrid.

"I would have never signed that if I did not think I was capable of making it (to the end of the contract).

"The boss knows that I really want to stay here.

"What you cannot stop is what people say about you. The press can write or say whatever they want.

"Here, I do not get involved at all.

"Since I am 18, they have been saying that - but I am still here."

Fabregas, committed to Arsenal until at least 2014, added: "I just say what I feel - and what I feel is that I hope I can be at Arsenal for many years and lift trophies which they have never lifted before, like the Champions League, to lift the Premier League, FA Cups.

"I am really looking forward to it because I am sure the future is bright here."
