Arsenal line up Cesc Fabregas bid?

Arsenal are reportedly preparing to bring Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas back to the Emirates this summer.

The Spain international left the Gunners for the La Liga giants in 2011, but manager Arsene Wenger is now preparing an ambitious swoop for the 27-year-old, according to The Mirror.

Arsenal placed a £30m buy-back clause in his contract when he departed for Camp Nou, and Wenger will now try to trigger the clause.

Fabregas, who made his Gunners debut in 2003, is understood to be open to a return to the Premier League.
