Barcelona midfielder Andrés Iniesta has reiterated his desire for Cesc Fàbregas to return to the Camp Nou next season.
Fàbregas, who has five years remaining on his Emirates contract, has expressed his desire to return to boyhood side Barça and the Catalan giants have already seen one reported £30 million bid rejected by Arsenal.
But Iniesta, who spent several years with Fàbregas in Barça's youth team, admits his fellow countryman would give Barcelona a massive boost if he finally quits North London.
Iniesta said at a Nike press conference in Barcelona: "Everybody has come out and spoken of the desire we have for Cesc to be with us next season.
"We would be delighted. Not just because he is a team-mate and a friend but because it would be great for the club.
"His arrival would give us a huge jump in quality and he would play his part to help us stay up there competing in the big competitions. We would love him to be here."
