Arsenal News: Gunners Given Boost With Cesc Fabregas and Barcelona La Liga Triumph

Arsenal can look forward to spending another £2 million in the summer transfer window, as they have just received this windfall from past sales. The Premier League outfit inserted clauses into the deal that took Cesc Fabregas to the Camp Nou. As a result of Barcelona winning the league title this season, Arsenal will be eligible to receive around £2 million in bonuses.

Fabregas is not the only player to have offered a windfall for Arsenal, as they will be receiving £500,000 from the newly promoted Hull City as part of the deal that took striker Jay Simpson to the club in 2010.

According to the Daily Mail, the future of Fabregas at Barcelona is under a cloud of doubt due to his position in the team. The 26-year-old cost the Catalan club £35 million in transfer fees, but he has been regularly dropped in favour of Xavi, Andres Iniesta, and Sergio Busquets. Even in the matches that he has played, Fabregas has adopted a different role to the one he was used to at Arsenal.

He is now playing more of as a false striker. His performances have drawn mixed reviews and there is a feeling that Barcelona may just listen to offers for the player.

Arsenal are thought to have the first refusal on the player. After seeing their title and top four ambitions suffer for yet another season, manager Arsene Wenger is prepared to spend big in the summer. The club has been linked with several big names like Fiorentina forward Stevan Jovetic and Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain.

Arsenal will be taking on Wigan tonight in a match that could see them move one step closer towards securing a top four spot this season. Any dropped points, though, will put Tottenham in pole position to secure the final Champions League qualification spot with just one match remaining.
