Cesc Fabregas

After joining Arsenal as a 16-year-old, Fabregas went on to enjoy two incredible spells in the Premier League, both with the Gunners and then Chelsea. 

Aged only 16 years and 177 days, he became Arsenal's youngest ever first-team player, and then broke another record, this time as the club's youngest-ever goalscorer.

Blessed with wonderful technique, sublime creativity and a knack of scoring crucial goals, Fabregas flourished under Arsene Wenger, and went on to captain Arsenal before leaving for Barcelona.

He moved to Chelsea in 2014 and set up 18 goals in his debut season, the third-most assists any player has ever registered in a single Premier League campaign. 

The Spaniard won two Premier League titles with Chelsea and finished his career with 111 assists, the second-most in history.

What they said

“Cesc gives you great quality, great fantasy and assists. He's technically very good, and can put the ball where he wants. He's a great player. Often, he's decisive with the pass, with the assist, and also to score a goal.” Antonio Conte 

“He changed the mentality of Arsene Wenger. We used to play a flat 4-4-2 and because of Cesc, the player he was, he [Wenger] started to think that he had to build the team around Cesc Fabregas.” Thierry Henry  

Did you know?

Fabregas is one of only eight players in Premier League history to register four assists in a single match, doing so for Arsenal in October 2009 against Blackburn.

He started more Premier League matches as a teenager (86) and played more minutes (7,758) as a teenager than anyone else in Premier League history.

He is the only player in Premier League history to assist 15+ goals in a season for two different clubs, assisting 17 times for Arsenal in 2007/08 and 18 times for Chelsea in 2014/15.
