Liverpool are leading the chase to
sign £30million-rated Cesc
Fabregas who is determined to
return to England after Barcelona
made it clear they are willing to
sell him.
The relatively low fee for the 27-
year-old midfielder, who was
confirmed as part of Spain’s World
Cup squad on Saturday, will tempt
several Premier League clubs, but
the Anfield side have a real chance
of signing him because they are in
the Champions League next
season.
Fabregas’s availability will also test
the willingness of Arsenal manager
Arsene Wenger, who has a
£100million transfer kitty, to return
for his former captain.
But Arsenal are poised to make a
move from Sven Bender, the 25-
year-old Borussia Dortmund mid-
fielder and with Mesut Ozil and
Santi Cazorla already in the usual
Fabregas role, the Gunners are
likely to strengthen with a more
defensive midfield player.
Arsenal have previously been
interested in Bender’s twin
brother, Lars, and bid £18m for him
last summer, only to be turned
down by Bayer Leverkusen.
Lars has since signed a new
contract and is currently injured
but Arsenal hope they can lure
Sven from Dortmund with a £15m
bid after he failed to make the
Germany World Cup squad.
Wenger had not previously ruled
out the return of Fabregas to the
club, having maintained a good
relationship with his former
captain despite the fact that some
supporters were unhappy with the
manner in which he left in 2011.
