da wazamba: Barcelona captain Carles Puyol has joined the call for Cesc Fabregas to leave Arsenal and rejoin his former club this summer.
da 888casino: Fabregas, 23, is reported to have told the Gunners of his desire to rejoin his boyhood following seven years in north London.
The £40million-rated Spain international has developed into one of the most complete midfielders in European football during his time in England and Puyol believes he is now tailor-made for the Catalan giants.
Arsenal claim they are yet to receive any official contact from Barcelona for their unsettled skipper.
"Cesc is an excellent player and a great friend. For me, he would be perfect for Barcelona," declared Puyol.
However, Puyol has stressed that Barca must respect Fabregas' contract with the Gunners skipper just 12 months into a five-year contract.
Puyol added:"I've always seen him as an excellent player and a great friend. You'll hardly ever see him get wound up. He's a very calm guy.
"We'd all like to know what his future holds, but right now he has a contract with Arsenal and nobody knows what's going to happen.
"It's only normal though that great players are connected to great clubs."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
