'You come & we'll win the title' - What Mourinho told Fabregas to convince him to join Chelsea

Cesc Fabregas has explained how Jose Mourinho told him that if the midfielder joined him at Chelsea he would be a Premier League title winner.

The Spaniard signed for the west Londoners back in 2014 after three seasons at Barcelona and would go on to claim two league titles with Mourinho, as well as winning the FA Cup and League Cup.

And Fabregas has now explained the discussions he had with the Portuguese over making the switch to Stamford Bridge, with Mourinho having even written down the team he had in mind on paper for the midfielder, insisting that, should he join, he'd be a title winner.
