Cesc Fabregas will stay at Arsenal this summer, according to loaned out Gunners midfielder Denilson.

Fabregas is seemingly edging closer to a switch to Barcelona, with the Catalans recently stating that they were 'sure' of his signing. The Arsenal skipper is keen to leave, and he is hopeful the finer details can be sorted out before the end of the transfer window.

However, Fabregas has found himself in a similar situation before, with Barcelona failing to capture their former academy product last summer. Arsenal have so far held on to both Fabregas and Samir Nasri - linked to Manchester City, and Denilson believes the outcome will be a happy one for the north London club.

"I think it's very important because the fans, the staff at Arsenal, everyone loves Cesc and I think he's going to stay," he told Sky Sports News.

Denilson is currently on loan at Sao Paulo, but he still holds plenty of respect for Arsene Wenger. The midfielder even admits he does not think his Arsenal career is over.

"I miss London, I miss Arsenal. I lived there for five years, it's a long time for me, but I think next season I'll be back. Everyone knows Arsene Wenger is a top man and a top manager. He's not just a coach - he's like a dad. It's brilliant for me and for the players because he's helped the players."
