Cesc Fabregas is considering his future at Arsenal over their lack of competitiveness.

Barcelona have confirmed they're actively pursuing their former player and it's their ability to challenge for silverware which is attracting the Spaniard.

In SEVEN years at Arsenal he has won TWO trophies. Barcelona have won SEVEN trophies in TWO years.

A close pal told The Sun: "Cesc has been at Arsenal seven years and in all that time he's won the FA Cup and the Charity Shield.

"To be honest, you can't really count the Charity Shield and there are quite a few people these days who wouldn't count the FA Cup either.

"Never forget Arsenal effectively stole Cesc from Barcelona in the first place. They've had incredible service and incredible value from him and they can hardly complain now he wants to rejoin the club he's worshipped since childhood.

"In another seven years Cesc will be 30. He doesn't want to look back on his career and see he's missed out on Barca's glory days."
