The Spain midfielder left Barca to join the Gunners in 2003 and has stated his desire to one day return to his native city on several occasions.

Fabregas, who has been regularly linked with a move to Barca or rivals Real Madrid in recent seasons, told Catalan radio station RAC1: "I've decided to give my all for Arsenal and try to win more titles here, although next year who knows?"

He added: "It would be a dream to return to Barcelona someday, but for now I'm staying here."

Fabregas, who scored a late equaliser against Sunderland at the weekend, is happy with the season so far despite an interrupted start.

He said: "I began the season like never before, with a lot of confidence, happiness and the desire to get back on the pitch following the European Championships.

"Unfortunately an injury then set me back for two weeks, but I'm better now and regaining the mentality and confidence needed."
