CESC FABREGAS has pledged his future to Arsenal amid reports of a possible move to Real Madrid.

Bernabeu chief Ramon Calderon spoke of the club's interest in the young Spaniard, but midfielder Fabregas has dismissed the claims by admitting he is happy at the Emirates.

He said: "I am young and happy at Arsenal. I regard them as one of the biggest clubs and (Arsene) Wenger is like a father to me on the pitch."

Wenger has overseen Fabregas' development since he arrived at Arsenal as a fresh-faced 16-year-old five years ago, and the Spanish international has repaid his manager by signing an eight-year deal with the club last year.
