PREMIERSHIP TRANSFER NEWS - Jose Mourinho winds up Arsenal over Cesc Fabregass move to Chelsea Jose Mourinho has wasted no time in trying to wind up Arsène Wenger by claiming Cesc Fabregas did not want to rejoin Arsenal ahead of moving to London rivals Chelsea. Arsenal decided against taking advantage of a buy-back clause on former midfielder Fàbregas when he was made available by Barcelona this summer. Fàbregas had claimed earlier in his career that he would only play for Arsenal or Barcelona, but eventually joined Chelsea in a £27million deal to become manager Mourinho’s first signing of the summer. Arsenal signed Fàbregas as a 16-year-old from Barcelona and he spent eight years at the club, captaining the team, before moving back to Spain in 2011. Asked whether it was difficult to convince Fàbregas to join Chelsea, Mourinho replied: “I spoke with him for 20 minutes. He really wanted to come to us. Arsenal had an option to interfere, but I think he was not open to that. I think he was very, very much in our direction, so it was an easy job for me.” Kenyas best sports betting service!
