French Connection: Fabregas to spearhead Monaco's relegation fight

The former Arsenal midfielder is set to team up with his old friend Thierry Henry at Stade Louis II - and he feels he owes the Frenchman one

Thierry Henry’s main priority for Monaco during the transfer window was to reinforce his side with experience.

He has already successfully captured four players for the relegation-battling principality side, centre-back Naldo from Schalke, Lille full-back Fode Ballo-Toure, former Marseille midfielder William Vainqueur and, most eye catching of all, Cesc Fabregas.

The Spanish midfielder was surplus to requirements at Chelsea but is set to be handed a leading role at Stade Louis II, where he will be expected to become a leader for the team as they attempt to push their way out of the relegation zone.
