Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is aware that he might not be able to keep hold of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri at the Emirates, but he is determined to fight for his star duo.

Cesc Fabregas is edging closer to Barcelona, whereas Samir Nasri is followed by the Manchester rivals.

Nonetheless, the French manager is not giving up on his star players.

“Our position is always the same. We want to keep Cesc. We will fight, I will fight personally, to keep him. As hard as I can,” Wenger was quoted as saying by The Sun.

“Samir Nasri is the same. We want to keep Samir Nasri and will do everything possible to keep him.

“He’s going on tour. He’s not injured. But Fabregas will not travel as he still has a small muscular problem. He will stay and practice here.”

Nasri has rejected a new contract from Arsenal worth £100,000 per week and he is now 2.00 (1/1) with Victor Chandler to sign for Manchester United before 1st September. On the other hand, the Frenchman is 1.67 (2/3) to move to Eastlands.

The world famous bookmaker believes that Cesc Fabregas’ transfer to Barcelona is just a matter of time and thus the odds of 1.17 (1/6).
