ARSENAL captain Cesc Fabregas has finally ended speculation linking him with a move to La Liga champion Barcelona by confirming his commitment to the Premier League side yesterday.
"Firstly I would like to apologize to all the Arsenal fans for not speaking sooner about my future but I have not known what I was going to do until this moment," the 23-year old Spaniard said in a statement.
"I cannot deny that joining a club like Barcelona was not an attractive move for me... There are not many players in the world who would not want to play for Barcelona.
"I am a professional and I fully understand that it is Arsenal's prerogative not to sell me... I can assure all the fans that now the negotiations have ended I will be 100 per cent focused on playing for Arsenal."
Fabregas had been the subject of continued interest from the Catalan club, which had a 29 million pound (US$46.12 million) bid rejected.
