Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood believes that Cesc Fabregas will honour his contract with the Gunners. (Warning: Strong language)

This is despite continued rumours of the playmaker being linked with Barcelona, something that has infuriated Hill-Wood.

"I am really p****d off with Barcelona and all that nonsense," Hill-Wood told The Daily Star.

"Cesc is on a very good, long-term contract and I don't think he has any intention of not honouring it.

"It is not the first time they have done this and it is a most disrespectful and tiresome thing to do.

"You would think there would be some action you could take against them, but I suppose you cannot stop the man shooting his mouth off.

"Our position, and I think Cesc's position, is very steadfast," he added. "He has been with us for seven years and there is no reason he should want to up sticks.

"I don't think I would talk to him about what Barcelona have been saying because I don't think he wants to talk about it.

"From everything we hear he is very settled. He has a long-term contract and I see absolutely no reason why it shouldn't continue."
