Carlos Vela expects his Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas to leave this summer for Barcelona.

The Daily Express says Vela's comments are sure to rile Gunners management.

He said: "He will be going back to his country and it is good for him.

"It is difficult for big players, they want to win trophies and play in games like the Champions League final. I'm sure he's disappointed we have not won anything for five years.

"Of course, it will be sad to see Cesc join Barcelona. He is the star of the Arsenal team and it is better to have him. But it is a decision for Cesc."
