CHELSEA have completed the signing of Barcelona midfielder and former Arsenal star Francesc Fabregas.
Chelsea are believed to have paid £30m for the Spain
international, who has signed a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Fabregas
scored eight La Liga goals for Barcelona and provided a further 19
assists in 36 appearances last season and thanked the Catalan giants
after sealing his move to Stamford Bridge.
Says Fabregas to the
club's official website: "Firstly I would like to thank everyone at FC
Barcelona where I enjoyed three wonderful years. It was my childhood
club and I will always be proud and honoured that I had a chance to play
for such a great team.
"I do feel that I have unfinished business in the Premier League and now is the right time to return.
"I
considered all the other offers very carefully and I firmly believe
that Chelsea is the best choice. They match my footballing ambitions
with their hunger and desire to win trophies. They have an amazing squad
of players and an incredible manager. I am fully committed to this team
and I can't wait to start playing."
Fabregas spent eight years at Arsenal before joining Barcelona
