Wenger insisted he was "confident we can get both of them to stay."

Barcelona has reportedly been negotiating with Arsenal for its captain Fabregas, while both Manchester clubs have expressed their desire to sign Nasri, who is in his last year of his contract.

Wenger also confirmed Monday that Gervinho has signed from Lille but was not included in the lineup that will play Malaysia this week on its tour of Asia.
