Cesc Fabregas has admitted he is torn over where his future lies as he continues to be linked with a move to Barcelona.
The Arsenal skipper is thought to be keen on a move to the Nou Camp having grown up there before he was snapped up by the Gunners at the age of 16.
The 23-year-old admits Barcelona have his heart but says he can not ignore his commitment to Arsenal, claiming he has a strong connection with Gunners manager Arsene Wenger.
"I'm a Barca fan, I'm a socio, as is my grandfather, my uncle, my cousin... I have felt the colours from a young age, I'm Catalan," he told magazine DIR Emotions.
"However, I'm the captain of Arsenal, I'm a 'Gunner', and I have become a player there and matured as a person."
"He is a second father for 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," he said when asked about his relationship with Wenger.
"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."
