'I am an Arsenal man' - Fabregas reveals continued Gunners affinity despite Chelsea move

Cesc Fabregas starred at both Arsenal and Chelsea over the course of his glittering career, but he admits that his spell at Highbury and the Emirates Stadium will always stand out as special.

Fabregas moved to north London from Barcelona's La Masia academy in 2003 at just 16, and became Arsenal's youngest-ever first-team player months later by making his debut in the League Cup against Rotherham.

He went on to spend eight seasons under Arsene Wenger at the club, making more than 300 appearances and lifting the FA Cup in 2004-05.
