Wenger asks Fabregasto end speculation over his future

"This story in the last six months has made our life difficult and what is important is that Cesc comes out.  Only Cesc can clear the air when he gets back from holiday.  Only Cesc can stop the speculation," said Wenger.

The Frenchman reiterated his hardline stance that no business would be done with Barcelona, going as far as to state that the Spanish club have known for a while that their attempts will hit a dead end. "Bara have given up for a long time," he said. "Who is the person who says Bara will not give up? The papers. But they don't make the decisions."
