Happy for now: Cesc Fabregas

Fabregas insists he is happy at the Emirates Stadium and is glad he turned down Real in the summer.

"The president Ramon Calderon and sport director Predrag Mijatovic have spoken to me, but finally I decided to follow on with my commitment to Arsenal," Fabregas told Radio Marca.

"It is not true that I have given them my word [to join] for next season. The meeting was pleasant and I believe that they are good and very sincere people.

"I am very happy at Arsenal and I go 100 per cent with the decision I took, although I praise the interest of Real in me."
