Fábregas' future appears to have been resolved for the coming season at least, with the Spaniard saying he is totally focused on playing for Arsenal this season.

The Gunners captain accepted his club's decision to reject two offers from Barcelona, the club where he began his career.

"He was torn," Wenger told The Observer.

"But I must say that during the whole period Cesc was remarkably respectful of Arsenal. He has never shown a lack of love for the club, and in the end we managed to hold on to him.

"What people do not realise is we can say no to anybody in the world because we are in a healthy financial situation. If we are £300m in debt, we cannot keep our best players.

"People have to understand that we were strong with the Fábregas case because we are well managed.

"We could afford to be strong, we can afford to say no to any number, because we just feel we want to keep our best players."
