MADRID (Reuters) - Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas said he was keen to win titles with the London club but suggested he would consider an offer to return to Barcelona if their coach, Pep Guardiola, called him.

"It's very obvious that it (an offer from Barca) would be special but I am also clear about the fact that Arsenal made me captain in the middle of last season," the Spain international said in an interview published in Spain's Sport newspaper.

"That gives me extra responsibility and ties me closer to the club and I would be excited to win a trophy as captain of the Gunners," he said, but added that if Guardiola called him "it would be different."
