Barcelona target Cesc Fabregas returned to training with Arsenal this morning.

The Gunners captain has been at the centre of speculation linking him with a return to the Catalan giants all summer.

Barca, the club with whom Fabregas began his career, made a £30m bid for the midfielder earlier this summer, only to be told by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger that the player was not for sale at any price.

A series of public statements by Barca's most prominent players advocating a move for the FIFA World Cup™ winner has only served to increase speculation that Fabregas will leave the club.

Nevertheless, the Spain star, who joined the Gunners as a 15-year-old, looked at ease as he lined up alongside Wenger and the rest of the Arsenal squad for the team photo at the Emirates Stadium today.
