Spain coach Luis Aragones has called up Arsenal youngster Cesc Fabregas to his squad for the friendly match against Ivory Coast on the first of March, BBC reported on Friday. "Although Cesc is young, after a year and a half in the Arsenal team he has emerged as a very important player," Aragones said. "He's performed well for the under-21s and he's also got an eye for goal," he added.
