Barcelona<\/a> and Spain<\/a> striker David Villa<\/a> has urged his club to sign Arsenal<\/a> captain Cesc Fabregas<\/a>, saying he \u2018deserves to return\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Former Barcelona youth-team player Fabregas has often expressed his desire to go back to the club where he grew up though a deal has so far failed to materialise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fabregas is reportedly Barcelona\u2019s No.1 transfer target this summer – and despite the club’s already outstanding options in his position, Villa believes he could be a key player for the recently crowned European Champions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Villa plays with Fabregas in the Spanish national team and believes the midfielder has earned the right to once again play for Barcelona.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have a soft spot for Cesc. You know what he would give to the team,\u201d Villa said in an article in The Sun<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I hope he can come to Barcelona. Not only as a player but as someone who deserves to return.”<\/span><\/p>\n

While Fabregas has never hidden his desire to return to Camp Nou it remains unclear whether Arsene Wenger would be willing to entertain offers for his talismanic, under-contract midfielder – or whether Barca would be prepared to meet the Gunners’ reported \u00a345 million asking price.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
