Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, who set up the goal that won the World Cup for Spain last night, is rumoured to have bought a £2 million house in St Albans.

The star has been linked with Barcelona throughout the summer but the London club have held firm and rejected all bids from the Catalan giants.

It remains to be seen whether or not the creative midfielder will get his 'dream move' back to the Nou Camp but Arsenal fans will be hoping that he has decided to stay in England by purchasing a property in St Albans. A source has told the Review that the star player, priced at 40 million Euros, bought a house in Marshalls Drive, one of the most expensive addresses in the district, about three weeks ago.
