Brtish tabloid Mail on Sunday claims that Barcelona is still interested in Arsenal midfielder and Spanish international Cesc Fàbregas (21) and that Arsenal wants to sign a top player this winter to convince the player to stay.

With talks on Cesc's future due this summer, the signing of Russian attacker Arshavin should also help to convince the Catalan midfielder that the English Premier League club has the potential to attract big names and to compete for the trophies in the future.

The tabloid claims that Cesc is the player Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola wants for next season and they have already tried to sign him, when director Marc Ingla met with Arsenal director Ken Friar last summer. And with Barcelona enjoying a good period, it is believed in Barcelona that Guardiola's special relationship with Cesc could now tempt him back to his former club.
