XAVI wants Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas to join him at Barcelona.
Fabregas is regularly linked with a return to the club where he started his career.
And Xavi believes his fellow Spaniard would make the ideal midfield partner — before eventually succeeding him as Barca's playmaker.
The 29-year-old said: "I wish Cesc was my successor and a team-mate.
"The more players that come and be associated with me, the better. Good players have to be understood in the field.
"If Cesc comes it will be good. I would like it because I would enjoy playing alongside him.
"He is very good and also has the DNA of Barca. He is able to make the final pass in attack."
Fabregas has frequently pledged his loyalty to Arsenal and is determined to lead the Gunners to silverware.
But Barcelona refuse to give up hope of luring the 22-year-old back to the Nou Camp.
