CESC FABREGAS has vowed not to follow Thierry Henry out of Arsenal.
The Spanish midfielder, 20, is a target for Real Madrid and Barcelona.
But Fabregas knows he is key to the future of the Gunners and he is keen to stay in North London.
Fabregas' agent Joseba Diaz said: "These stories are normal but there is absolutely no truth in them whatsoever.
"Cesc is happy for Thierry as they are friends.
"But he can't wait to start the season, he is a key man for Arsenal."
The Gunners were rocked by Henry's £16million switch to Barcelona last week.
Fans feared a mass exodus with boss Arsene Wenger and Fabregas tipped for exits.
But Diaz added: "Thierry was a very important player for them and it is normal that now he is no longer there, everyone thinks it is very bad news for the club.
"But Arsenal are going to buy a lot of good players and they are going to be a major team both in the Premier League and Champions League.
"Without Thierry, Cesc is one of the best players at Arsenal and this is fine for him, he is happy with the responsibility.
"At the moment Cesc is on holiday, but he is very excited about the new campaign."
