Fabregas agonizes over team

CESC Fabregas is torn between staying with Arsenal or moving back to Barcelona and has said he is still in real doubt over where his future lies.

The 23-year-old Arsenal captain has been courted by the Catalan club, where he began his career, but Arsenal has spurned the La Liga champion's advances.

In an interview with a Catalan magazine, Fabregas said: "I'm a Barca fan, I'm a club member, as is my grandfather, my uncle, my cousin... I have had the colors in my blood from a young age, I'm Catalan. However, I'm the captain of Arsenal, I'm a Gunner, and I have become a player there and matured as a person."

Arsene Wenger has said he had no intention of selling his captain.

"He is a second father to me, the most important person in my life after my father. He has behaved really well with me and taken me in like a son. I am part of his family," Fabregas said.

"He doesn't want me to leave. And in my last conversation with him in London, it was one of the most difficult moments I have experienced. I ended up very upset."
