Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has refuted suggestions that he has agreed a deal to join Barcelona in the summer.

Fabregas has long been linked with a return to the club who nurtured his talents as a youngster and talk has increased in recent weeks.

Barcelona moved to deny talk that a deal had been sealed and the midfielder has insisted his focus is solely on the Gunners.

"They have denied it, I have denied it. I just want to focus on Arsenal," Fabregas told Sky Sports. "I think Arsenal Football Club is above everything, every single player in its history and their fans, and the club, and myself - I think we deserve a little bit more respect."

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger was also quick to deny that a deal had been agreed. "Nothing plus nothing is nothing," the Frenchman said after his side had seen off Liverpool 1-0 to revive their title hopes.
