Barcelona midfield ace Xavi has nominated Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas as his successor at the Nou Camp.
Xavi believes his fellow Spaniard would make the ideal midfield partner - before eventually succeeding him as Barca's playmaker.
The 29-year-old said: "I wish Cesc was my successor and a team-mate.
"The more players that come and be associated with me, the better. Good players have to be understood in the field.
"If Cesc comes it will be good. I would like it because I would enjoy playing alongside him.
"He is very good and also has the DNA of Barca. He is able to make the final pass in attack."
