Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is looking to pull off a sensational coup by bringing former star Cesc Fabregas back to the Premier League, according to the Mirror. Fabregas joined the Gunners as a youth from Barcelona and spent eight years in London before re-joining the Catalans in 2011, and now looks set for yet another switch. Barca will listen to offers for the midfielder this summer, and Arsenal have first refusal as part of the deal that saw the 27-year-old return to the Nou Camp three years ago. Fabregas is open to a move back to England and his strong relationship with Wenger, along with the buy-back clause in his current contract means the door is very much open for the Gunners. Arsenal inserted the clause as part of his £30 million sale, meaning Barca have to inform them if they receive a bid, and Wenger's side then get first refusal. If they do not take up their option and Fabregas moves to another club, the FA Cup winners will receive a share of the profit from any sale. The Catalans would ideally like to earn a profit on the Spain star, and are listening to offers in the region of £35 million, with Manchester United also interested having made three bids last summer. Fabregas scored 57 goals and created 102 assists during his time at Arsenal, winning the Community Shield in 2004 and the FA Cup a year later.
