Barcelona new boy Alexander Hleb is ready to incur the wrath of old club Arsenal by hinting that Cesc Fabregas could join him at the Nou Camp.

Hleb secured his move to Barcelona earlier this week after deciding to leave Arsenal for a new challenge.

The Belarus international says former Gunners team-mate Fabregas has told him a lot about Barca having come through the youth ranks at the Catalan outfit before making the move to Arsenal.

Hleb claims Fabregas is still a big fan of Barcelona and he believes there is a possibility the pair could be reunited at Camp Nou.

"He [Fabregas] told me lots of things [about Barcelona], his time in the academy with players like Pique, Messi and so on," Hleb told Barcelona's official website.

"He loves this club, and though he's at Arsenal, who knows, maybe one day he'll come back here."

"This is why Hleb can never be counted among Arsenal greats. Instead of keeping quiet and concentrate on securing a place in his new Barca team, he chose to infuriate Gooners with his unnecessary comments. It's quite natural for Cesc to love his native home Barcelona which he (Cesc) reiterated several times. But for now, he is staying put at Arsenal to help get the job done. Fabrigas is a kind of player that don't like to hide under the shadows of other players to win trophies as he always want his contribution to be felt (check out Euro 2008). Before Cesc will don the Barca player, he would have become an Arsenal legend like Thierry Henry. So, Hleb try focus on making the Barca first team for now."

"shut your face mate.... you got your move to Barca... now f**k off... once your gone we dont want to Know.... And anyway, we all know fab's love for Barca.. thats only natural... but this great player and person will leave on good terms with the respect of Arsenal fans... not like Hleb... one good season and he think's he's cracked it... he's way off being a great player anyway.... to be a great player you need to play for a club for a long time... not move around Europe for an extra few quid here and there.... Good luck to him anyway... we dont and never needed him.."
