Cesc Fabregas will not request to going to Barcelona.

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas insists he will not force a move to La Liga giants Barcelona.

Speculation has been afire over Fabregas' future this summer, especially with the 24-year-old making no secret of his desire to one day return to the Nou Camp.

Arsenal team-mate Bacary Sagna further fanned the flames on Tuesday by declaring that he was aware of Fabregas' wish to join Barcelona this summer.

However, the Spanish international has now come out and insisted that he will not hand in a transfer request.

"I am an Arsenal player," Fabregas said, according to The Guardian.

"I have been very happy for eight years and I am very happy. I am not thinking about football now, just about my holidays."

Still, Fabregas refused to definitely rule out a move away from the Emirates Stadium.

"I am not going to talk about any team - but I can't say no to anyone because you never know what could happen in the future.

"I have values and after all I have done in eight years here, I am not going to say a word that would ruin everything. I have always acted with discretion.

"Everyone sees things in a different way but these decisions, not everything depends on the player.

"If I said anything else it would be a lie, it would give rise to speculation that is not true."

Fabregas did admit that winning titles remains at the forefront of his ambitions, and conceded that moving to Barcelona would offer him an excellent shot at silverware.

"Barcelona are the best team in the world and going there guarantees titles. But I owe myself to Arsenal."

Fabregas, who won both Euro 2008 and the 2010 FIFA World Cup with Spain admits to being frustrated at the lack of success in the past few seasons at the Emirates Stadium.

"Any player who says he is not frustrated at not winning titles is lying.

"There is a good team and a good manager and one of the most faithful fan bases in Europe. With those I believe we can make progress and one day win an important trophy.

"I am ambitious. [But] I have not spoken to the manager.

"He is the boss, he makes decisions and I don't know if they want to sell me or not."

While Fabregas has stopped short of out rightly declaring he wants a transfer to Barcelona, the lack of a statement of his desire to stay is bound to worry all involved at Arsenal.

Fabregas has made over 300 appearances for Arsenal, but only has an FA Cup final victory in 2005 to show for his time at the Emirates, although he was unlucky to miss out on the UEFA Champions League the following year.
