FINALLY FABREGAS SIGN FOR BARCELONA

Arsenal have agreed a deal to sell midfielder Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona, according to reports in Spain.

Catalan daily Sport claimed that the midfielder will travel to Barcelona on Sunday to undergo a medical after a five-year deal was agreed.

Barcelona meanwhile stated that "an announcement will be made in the next few hours", while Arsenal warned that it is not done yet.

There was no mention of a transfer fee, but Barca are thought to be paying up to £28 million with Fabregas's surrendered signing-on fee making up the difference to Arsenal's downgraded valuation of around £31m. Other reports have put the total figure at £35-36m.
