Mourinho taunts Arsenal over Fabregas signing
Jose Mourinho believes Cesc Fabregas always preferred to join Chelsea this summer, despite rumours linking him with a return to his old club Arsenal, according to the Daily Mirror.
The Spanish playmaker completed a £30m move to Stamford Bridge after leaving Barcelona earlier this summer, and it had looked as though the Gunners could exercise their first refusal option to buy him back.
Fabregas himself has been quoted as saying that Arsene Wenger chose not to sign him, but Mourinho believes he successfully persuaded the 27-year-old to choose Chelsea instead.
“As you know Arsenal had an option to interfere,” he said. “But I think he was not open for that, I think he was very much in our direction so it was an easy job for me.”
