It is claimed that the Gunners want to tie down the Catalan midfielder on a five-year deal worth £120,000 a week, despite the 22-year-old having three years left on his current terms.

It is said that Arsene Wenger and the board at Ashburton Grove are eager to ensure that Fabregas does not get swayed by Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The young playmaker has not ruled out a potential move to Barca, and has maintained that he would like to return to play for the Champions League winners someday.

Fabregas has been in sublime form this season, with 14 goals and as many assists from his 26 appearances in all competitions.
