Fabregas staying at Arsenal against his will - Barcelona's Puyol

Cesc Fabregas is staying at Arsenal against his will according to Barcelona star Carles Puyol. After winning the World Cup with the Gunners skipper, Spain defender Puyol insists that Arsene Wenger is holding him at Emirates Stadium when he no longer wants t be there.

"He is having to stay at a club where he no longer wants to be for another year," Puyol said.

"I wonder how intelligent it is keeping a player who doesn't want to be there.

"After seven years of great service, I thought Arsenal could have granted him his dream move.

"Cesc has given everything to Arsenal to try to win a trophy but they haven't matched his expectations.

"I won't say he is in a prison, as we know how privileged we are as football players.

"But after how clear Cesc made it that he wanted to be in Barcelona, I thought they would have granted him that."
