Barcelona striker David Villa believes Cesc Fabregas is desperate to leave Arsenal and sign for the Catalan giants.

Despite several members of the Barca squad saying throughout the summer that the 23-year-old should move to the Camp Nou, it now seems likely that Fabregas will remain at the Emirates Stadium for at least one more season.

The Gunners rejected a £25million bid for Fabregas earlier in the summer but Villa, who moved to Barcelona from Valencia before the World Cup started six weeks ago, was quoted in The Sun as saying: "I am not the Barcelona coach, nor the person responsible for reinforcements, but personally I will do the maximum to get Cesc here.

"He wants to play here and it will be quite normal if Arsenal finally do a deal.

"That would be great. A player of his ability will only increase our power and his presence will be great for all the forwards.

"He'll help Xavi and (Andres) Iniesta, and I'll score more goals with him in the side."
