New Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is to offered a new six-digit contract.
The decision to install Cesc Fabregas as permanent club captain was not that surprising considering the current perceived lack of leadership at the club.
Giving Fabregas the armband though may have been a political move from Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal management, as it could keep the playmaking midfielder in north London for an extra season or two, especially while heavyweight clubs in Spain continue publicly to court the 21-year-old.
The Sun are today reporting that Fabregas is set to become the club's highest earner as the Gunners are prepared to break the bank and offer the 2008 European Championship winner a £100,000-a-week contract.
It is a highly dubious decision considering the fact that he has been underperforming and has not even come close to the form that dazzled onlookers both at home and abroad last season.
Fabregas got his captaincy off to a winning start in midweek with a 1-0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv at home. He will continue his tenure as on-field leader at Stamford Bridge when Arsenal visit Chelsea on Sunday.
