'I will always be an Arsenal man in my heart': Cesc Fabregas declares love for the Gunners - despite Premier League success at London rivals Chelsea

Cesc Fabregas has declared his lasting love for Arsenal after eight years and 303 appearances in north London - despite winning two Premier League titles with London rivals Chelsea later in his career.

The Spaniard became club captain at the Emirates before departing for boyhood team Barcelona in 2011, then returning to the Premier League with Chelsea three years later.

In a conversation with former Gunners team-mate Thierry Henry on a Puma Instagram Live, Fabregas outlined why the Gunners retained a place in his heart.
