Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has admitted that he would fancy aplaying for Milan if his career ever took him to Italy.

This could sound like good news for the Rossoneri, who might end up losing veteran midfielder Andrea Pirlo to Chelsea if the latest transfer rumours are to be believed.

"If I had to come to Italy, Milan would be the team I would like to play with," declared the Spanish player to RAI. "You never know."

Cesc Fabregas has once again pleaded his innocence after being charged with two counts of improper conduct and accused of spitting at Hull City assistant manager Brian Horton.

Fabregas has until May 12 to respond to the charges levelled at him by The Football Association following a stormy FA Cup encounter at Emirates Stadium in March.

Arsenal defeated Hull 2-1 and Fabregas entered the field of play following the final whistle despite not playing a part in the match.

Not for the first time in his Arsenal career, Cesc Fabregas has recently been linked with a move to Spanish giants Barcelona at the end of the season.

The Spanish international midfielder, who began his career in La Blaugrana's youth ranks, is back in his homeland at present as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.

This has led certain sectors of the Spanish press to speculate that he could be on his way back to the Iberian Peninsula in the summer.

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas admits he is feeling good both "physically and mentally" as he steps up his rehabilitation programme following a serious knee injury.

Fabregas is set to be out of action until at least April after suffering ligament damage in a tackle with Liverpool's Xabi Alonso at the Emirates Stadium last month.

It is the first long-term layoff for the 21-year-old, who was handed the captain's armband at Arsenal by manager Arsene Wenger earlier this season.

Cesc Fabregas has insisted it is far too early to write Arsenal off and insists they can challenge for the title.

“We have no excuses for our recent results against Tottenham and Stoke and we cannot afford to lose today,” he writes in his column, “We have to learn from the mistakes we have made in recent games and put things right.”

Spanish International Cesc Fabregas has revealed that he would “love to be the captain” at Arsenal, with Frenchman William Gallas the man in possession of the armband at the Emirates Stadium at the moment.

Fabregas said: “I really want to achieve things with Arsenal — to win trophies and make history. That’s why I’m here.

“I’d love to be the captain, but whether I wear the armband or not, I’ll always give 100 per cent for the Arsenal fans.”

Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas has revealed he had offers from an Italian side in the past, leading to speculation he may join Milan at the end of the season...

Reports in England suggest the Spanish international has refused a new deal at the club which would have kept him on until 2016.

However, Arsenal denied their player had said no on Tuesday. Arsene Wenger is not prepared to lose his man but he may have no choice as speculation in Italy is rife that Cesc may join the Rossoneri.

Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has branded reports that he has rejected a new contract as 'mischief-making'.

Speculation in the Sunday tabloids claimed that the Spain international had turned down a £90,000-a-week offer to extend his Arsenal deal.

"A newspaper report suggesting that I have rejected a new contract is untrue," Fabregas told the club's official website.

"The article is just mischief-making.

"Everybody knows I have a long-term contract and that I am happy here. I'm focused on doing my best for Arsenal."

Barcelona midfielder Alexander Hleb admits he has been trying to persuade former Arsenal team-mate Cesc Fabregas to join him at the Nou Camp.

Spain international Fabregas vowed earlier this week that he would one day like to return to Barca, the club he left to join Arsenal in 2003, and for Hleb that day can not come soon enough.
