Arsenal keeping Cesc Fabregas against his will, says Carles Puyol
Despite a move to Barcelona looking increasingly less likely as the Premier League season draws closer, 'noises' as Arsène Wenger has described them, keep coming from the Catalan giants regarding Fabregas. [LNB]Puyol told the Sun: 'He [Fabregas] is having to stay at a club where he no longer wants to be for another year. I wonder how intelligent it is keeping a player who doesn't want to be there.

[LNB]The Barca captain is the latest senior player to make loaded remarks about Fabregas's future, joining Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets. [LNB]Puyol added: "Cesc has given everything to Arsenal to try to win a trophy but they haven't matched his expectations. [LNB] "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." [LNB]Whether these comments have influenced Arsenal's decision to sell Fabregas this summer or not, it looks extremely unlikely Fabregas will join the Spanish champions this year, despite overwhelming pressure from his fellow World Cup winners.
