McCabe, 30, wants to continue starting routinely at the top level, and carry on winning trophies. Arsenal are understood to be targeting a summer move for the Barcelona and Spain full-back Ona Batlle, as first reported by the Athletic."

McCabe played the game as Arsenal won 3-2 against Corinthians in extra time."
