Furious Arsenal hauled Cesc off Barcelona flight on Friday

Arsenal blocked Cesc Fabregas' move to Barcelona last week, it has been revealed.

Fabregas is undergoing a double medical in Barcelona today.

The Mirror says Fabregas was pulled off a flight to Barcelona on Friday because Arsenal were annoyed that his new team mates were Tweeting about the transfer before it had been completed.

Gunners chief Ivan Gazidis has been left annoyed that Barca have got Fabregas on the cheap because the Spanish midfielder made it clear he did not want to go to Manchester City, Real Madrid and Inter Milan and a bidding war would have forced the price up towards £50m.
