Cesc Fabregas came to the attention as an Arsenal wonderkid. He was extremely talented under Arsene Wenger. Fabregas broke some amazing records at very young age for Gunners. Later he joined FC Barcelona in 2011 as a world cup winner with Spain. But, he felt a need to join another club after just three years.
This saw Fabregas making his way back in the Premier League. Gunners had a buy back option but decided to not go after him. Later, Fabregas joined Chelsea for £30 million. This move turned out to be successful for both the player and the club.
Fabregas won two Premier League titles with The Blues. He also won FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Europa League. Later he joined Monaco and then Como where he retired from football.

Fabregas first contacted Man United manager David Moyes. Then he met Txiki Begiristain who was Man City director. Lastly, he met Jose Mourinho who was Chelsea manager at that time and who convinced Fabregas to join them.
Cesc Fabregas said that you know a lot about something by only talking. Mourinho told Fabregas that there was no other way than joining Chelsea.
