Arsene Wenger has again stated Cesc Fabregas will not be leaving Arsenal in the summer.

The Gunners skipper continues to be linked with a move 'home' to Barcelona, despite being under contract at Emirates Stadium until 2014.

But the Arsenal manager quickly moved to dispel fears Fabregas or any other player will be allowed to leave.
