Cesc Fabregas insists he is keen to see out the rest of his career with Arsenal.

The Spanish midfielder has consistently been linked with an eventual return to his home country, with Real Madrid and Barcelona thought to be admirers.

However, Fabregas - who quit Barca at the age of 16 as he went in search of first-team football at Arsenal - is adamant he is now happier than ever with The Gunners.

Fabregas, now 20, has starred in Arsenal's unbeaten start to the season and he admits he has now ditched plans to return to Spain.

Truth

"When I first came to England my idea was to go back to Spain one day," Fabregas said in The Sun.

"But the truth is that now I'm happier every day and I love London, the people and the club.

"I'm going to say the truth - every day I have more desire to stay here for a long time, for the rest of my career.

"I haven't had the fortune of playing in the Spanish league and right now I really identify with football in the Premier League because it's so passionate, fast, attacking and vibrant. It's the football that I like the most."
