Fabregas set for showdown Gunners talks

Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas will meet with boss Arsene Wenger tomorrow to discuss a possible move to Barcelona according to reports.

The Spanish international has been linked with a move back to Barca, a club he left as a 16-year-old, for some time and Fabregas, 23, admitted he would welcome a move to the Nou Camp at some point in his career last week, although he claimed to be in no hurry to leave the Emirates.

The Daily Mail has now claimed Barcelona's out-going president Joan Laporta is eager to tie up some final transfer deals before he hands over the presidency later in the summer and the Barca supremo has identified Fabregas as his top target.

Reports in Spain suggest Laporta travelled to England last week to meet with Arsenal officials, although these reports are unconfirmed.

Fabregas has said he wants his future resolved before the World Cup and Arsenal may have to brace themselves for a massive bid from Barca, with the Catalan giants expected to launch a bid of around £40million to tempt the Gunners to cash in on the influential playmaker.
