Messi tells Cesc: You must leave Arsenal to win trophies

Barcelona ace Lionel Messi has told Cesc Fabregas he must quit Arsenal if he wants to win trophies.

Messi admits the signing of Cesc is a top of conversation inside the Barca locker room.

And he told The People: "I understand that Arsenal means a lot to Cesc.

"But there comes a point in your life when you have to think about winning the biggest prizes in football, and I think it has got to that point for him. He has given Arsenal great service, but he should be winning league titles and European Cups.

"I played for him with the youth team at Barcelona and you could tell he was a special player - he had great vision and passing range even then."
