Wenger: Will fight to keep Cesc at Arsenal

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insisted yesterday that he was determined to spend a second successive summer fighting off mighty Barcelona to keep skipper Cesc Fabregas at the Emirates.

The Gunners turned down a bid from the Spanish champions last year for a player who spent his junior days at Barca and Wenger said Fabregas still has a major role at Arsenal. "I expect him to be here, and I will fight very hard to keep him here. You always have to fight when you have a player of that quality. You must always fight to keep your players," he said.
