Cesc Fabregas completes move to Barcelona

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has joined Barcelona on a five-year deal.

The 24-year-old, who has been the subject of the transfer saga all summer, appears to have finally completed a move to the Nou Camp, according to The Sun.

Barca defender Gerard Pique wrote on his Twitter page: "He's finally here!!"

Meanwhile Carlos Puyol, the captain of the Spanish giants, said: “Welcome home!!! Happy to have you here."

Despite Gunners boss Arsene Wenger claiming that the Spaniard would remain at the Emirates, the midfielder has reportedly penned a long-term contract with the Catalans.

Fabregas is expected to be unveiled at his boyhood club on Saturday and could make his first-team debut for the Primera champions against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday.
