Chelsea has completed the signing of Barcelona midfielder, Cesc Fabregas, on a five year deal, Goal reports.
Jose Mourinho’s side is believed to have paid £30million for Fabregas, who is currently on World Cup duty with Spain.
The former Arsenal star scored eight La Liga goals for Barcelona and provided a further 19 assists in 36 appearances last season and thanked the Catalan giants after sealing his move to Stamford Bridge.
Fabregas told the club’s official website: “Firstly I would like to thank everyone at FC Barcelona where I enjoyed three wonderful years. It was my childhood club and I will always be proud and honoured that I had a chance to play for such a great team.
“I do feel that I have unfinished business in the Premier League and now is the right time to return.
“I considered all the other offers very carefully and I firmly believe that Chelsea is the best choice. The club matches my footballing ambitions with the hunger and desire to win trophies. Chelsea has an amazing squad of players and an incredible manager. I am fully committed to this team and I can’t wait to start playing,” he stated.
