Cesc Fabregas is on the verge of joining French side Monaco, where he will reunite with his former Arsenal team-mate Thierry Henry.
The Frenchman is now manager of the Ligue 1 team and revealed over the weekend that since leaving the Gunners 11 years ago he has spoken with Fabregas “every two or three days”.
Consequently, a move to Monte Carlo was always going to represent an attractive proposition for Fabregas, who has struggled for first-team opportunities at Chelsea this season under new manager Maurizio Sarri, making just six appearances in the Premier League, only one of which was as a starter.
