Come back home! Cesc Fabregas told to REJECT Chelsea and return to Arsenal
SANTI CAZORLA has urged Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas to snub a move to Chelsea and rejoin Arsenal instead.
Fabregas is set for a summer move after new boss Luis Enrique confirmed the midfielder was not in his plans for next season, and Chelsea are believed to be leading the field for his signature in a deal worth £30million.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City are also keeping tabs on the Spain international, but compatriot and current Gunners playmaker Cazorla reckons Fabregas should ignore any offers from Jose Mourinho and return to the Emirates.
He told reporters: "I've read that he could go to Chelsea but I'd prefer him to come to Arsenal because he's a great player and they really love him there.

"I don't know what his future is, but I hope that he will be happy and enjoys the team wherever he is.
"I don't think there's a big difference between Cesc's performances in the Premier League and La Liga.
"His statistics are great at Barcelona but he's not valued the same as in England. There's no difference in his numbers, he's adapted perfectly to both leagues."
