Fab 100% focussed

(06-09-2010) Cesc Fabregas claims he was left with no choice but to remain at Arsenal. The Spanish midfielder was strongly linked with a move to Barcelona during the summer. "Barcelona did all that they could to sign me but Arsenal told me I had to stay, that there was no way there were going to let me go,” Fabregas told Spanish newspaper 'Publico' on Saturday. "In the end, I had to stay - but the content of my conversation with Arsene Wenger will remain private. We'll see what happens in the future." The 24-year-old did however promise to give his all for the Gunners this season. “I will be professional and give everything. I will not think about anything else other than Arsenal,” he added. “If I start thinking about the future that will stop me being focused and I will have a bad year."
