Bacary Sagna claims Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas wants to join Barcelona this summer - and hopes Samir Nasri will stay at The Emirates.

Fabregas has once again been linked with a return to the Catalan club, where he came through the youth ranks before signing for the Gunners in 2003.

Barca have failed to sign their former player in each of the last two summer transfer windows, but Sagna believes it could be a case of third time lucky for the Catalan club.

"I can say it's true that Cesc wants to go to Barca," the right-back told former Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Fernandez on France's RMC radio station.

"Fabregas wants to return to his country of birth, to his city, where his family are; he wants to play for one of the best teams in the world, Barcelona, and that's understandable.

"At the moment, however, he is still Arsenal's captain."

While Sagna believes Fabregas may leave London, the defender is hopeful Nasri will stay at the English club.

"Samir is happy at Arsenal, but I don't know what the best thing is for his career," he said.

"He has been one of the best players in the team this season and he is one of the symbols of this team. I hope to find him there when we return for (pre-season) training."

Meanwhile, Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has told his club's fans he shares a "profound disappointment" with them but has promised a busy summer in the transfer market as the club look to end their six-year trophy drought.

What had once looked to be a quadruple bid imploded once the Gunners lost the Carling Cup final to Birmingham, and they ended the Premier League season in fourth place.

Another season without success saw some fans voice their unhappiness with manager Arsene Wenger, especially over his apparent reluctance to spend big on new signings.

But at a question and answer session with the Arsenal Supporters Trust on Monday night, Gazidis has pledged to start putting things right.

"Coming off the end of the season, I share with you a sense of profound disappointment," he said.

"It is very clear we had some shortcomings and in this close season we are going to see some turnover of players.

"Some new signings will be coming in and some of our existing squad will be going out. As Arsene has said, it will be a busy close season for the club.

"But also it is important to recognise that it has not been a disaster. We have a young squad and we don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water. The trick will be to identify which parts to keep and which parts to turn over. And we will do that within our financial capabilities."

Former Arsenal fullback Lee Dixon believes the future of Andrey Arshavin could be away from Arsenal as his body language on the pitch shows that he is not a happy man.

The Englishman – who just signed for I AM PLAYR – was answering questions made by our team about manager Arsene Wenger and individual players of the squad and confessed that in his personal opinion the Russia International misses the St. Petersburg lifestyle and might want to return to his country.

The 47-year old added that the midfielder made an impressive impact after he joined the Gunners during the 2009 January transfer window but it now seems that his mind is elsewhere and that this summer – if that’s the case – maybe the Gunners should consider putting him on the market.

On Arshavin, Dixon said:

I don’t think he’s happy at the Club, I think he misses St. Petersburg, I think he misses that lifestyle. I don’t know this, it’s my impression of what he looks like on the pitch, he was a revelation when he first got in the team.

I think he settled down in the [Premier League] quite well but he doesn’t look happy to me, he just looks like he wants to be elsewhere, if that’s the case with the player – and it might not be, I don’t know – then let him go.

Arsenal flop Nickolas Bendtner has attracted interest from Turkish side, Beskitas. Who are considering a £12m bid, after missing out on Miroslav Klose to Lazio.

The Danish international has expressed his desire to leave the Emirates this summer after a lack of first-team football. European giant’s Inter Milan and Bayern Munich have also shown an interest in the much criticised striker.

Arsenal have been linked a with a number of targets this transfer window. It is believed Wenger is keen to cash in on his squad players in order to fund new signings. The 23 year-old has three years to run on his current contract and any suitable offers for the striker will be considered by the north London club. With Wenger stating he will allow players to leave if they wish.

Bendtner has had a frustrating time at Arsenal, often playing second or even third fiddle to the likes of Van Persie and Chamakh this season. Having spent six years under Wenger’s guidance the forward has flattered to deceive at times. Failing to fit into the intricate style of play created by the French tactician.

You would have to believe any offer near their €12m valuation for one of their consistently worst performers will be snapped up and re-invested into players more comfortable with the Arsenal ethos.
