New Barcelona president Rosell to take personal role in pushing for Arsenal captain Cesc

New Barcelona president Sandro Rosell is ready to drive personally their bid to land Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.

Sport says the signing of Cesc remains a top priority for Barca, despite the change of presidency.

Arsenal have already rejected a bid of £31 million from Barca for their captain, who today declared he could still stay at the Emirates.

Barca are refusing to give up, however, and Rosell will soon fly to London for face-to-face negotiations with Arsenal executives in a bid to break the deadlock.

Rosell enjoys a good relationship with several Arsenal directors thanks his time involved with Nike.
