Chelsea are close in signing Barcelona midfielder and former
Arsenal player Cesc Fabregas with the deal to be announced later this week.
The 27-year old Spain international attracted interest from
Chelsea and Manchester United after Barcelona’s new manager Luis Enrique
decided to put the midfielder on the transfer list for £30 million.Chelsea
manager Jose Mourinho is keen to replace legend Frank Lampard, who will leave
Stamford Bridge at the end of the month when his contract expires, with
Fabregas.
Kick Socca sources in Spain understand that Chelsea held talks with
Fabregas and his agent Darren Dein last week and the player agreed on personal
terms after undergoing successful medical tests.
The former Arsenal player is also linked with Manchester
City and Manchester United, but his signing with Chelsea will soon be announced
once the Blues agree the transfer fee with Barcelona.It is not yet known where
Chelsea will decide to play Fabregas as Ramires, Nemanja Matic, John Obi Mikel,
Willian, Eden Hazard, Oscar, Mohamed Salah and Andre Schurrle all fighting for
