Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has admitted that he would "love" to see Cesc Fabregas return to the club this summer.
Fabregas's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with the 27-year-old reportedly deemed surplus to requirements by new Barcelona manager Luis Enrique.
The likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have been linked with the former Gunners captain, but Cazorla is hopeful that he will return to the Emirates.
"I've read that he could go to Chelsea but I'd prefer him to come to Arsenal because he's a great player and they really love him there. I don't know what his future is, but I hope that he will be happy and enjoys the team wherever he is," Cazorla told reporters.
"I don't think there's a big difference between Cesc's performances in the Premier League and La Liga. His statistics are great at Barcelona but he's not valued the same as in England.
"There's no difference in his numbers, he's adapted perfectly to both leagues."
Cazorla and Fabregas are both part of the Spain squad for this summer's World Cup as they look to defend their title in Brazil.
