adminLONDON. – Cesc Fabregas admits he will always feel like a Gunner despite a £30 million move to Arsenal’s London rivals Chelsea this summer.
The Spain playmaker has hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge, laying on four assists for his new teammates already this season.
And – after leaving boyhood club Barcelona – Fabregas is looking forward to returning to his former north London stomping ground, albeit in the blue of Chelsea.
“I will always feel a Gunner and I know that I am going to return to (the Emirates Stadium) and I feel that it will be a special moment but I am committed,” Fabregas told El Pais.
“Remember that I played a Champions League final against Barcelona. I swear to you that I would have done anything to win that game even though I’d been Barcelona since I was a kid. So you know that when I play against Arsenal I will know who I am playing with, who my teammates are and who I will defend and I know that the Arsenal fans will understand; I have no doubt.”
The midfielder had a number of run-ins with Chelsea during his previous spell in England, and was more surprised than anyone to end up in blue.
He said: “If you’d told me five years ago that I would play for Chelsea and Mourinho I would not have believed you, but life changes.” – Mailonline.
