Cesc Fabregas claims to have been forced towards the exits at Chelsea by the arrival of Maurizio Sarri’s “son” Jorginho.
The Spanish midfielder took the decision to head for Monaco during the winter transfer window after falling out of favour at Stamford Bridge.
He had savoured Premier League and FA Cup successes while in west London, taking in 198 appearances and contributing an impressive number of assists.
The arrival of Jorginho from Napoli in 2018 nudged him down the pecking order, though, with Sarri siding with a player he had previously worked with in Italy.
