Cesc Fabregas believes he could put an end to the speculation linking him with a move away from the club, after his man-of-the-match performance against Leicester City in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.
The Spaniard helped Chelsea fight back from 2-0 down to win 4-2, assisting Gary Cahill’s header on the stroke of half-time, before scoring two in as many minutes in extra-time to win the game against the 10-men of Leicester.
Speaking to Sky Sports following the victory, Fabregas said he hoped his performance would “shut up” those who are causing the speculation about his future and focus on getting back to winning ways.
Hopefully this will shut up a few journalists, a few dailies, a few whatever, who are talking rubbish all the time and focus on what’s important, Chelsea winning.
I’m focusing on playing well and when I have the chance I’ll show what I can do, because I know what I can do and it’s a lot for this team.
The Spaniard is yet to start a Premier League game under Antonio Conte but has made an impact whenever he’s been brought off the bench by the Chelsea boss.
And after his match-winning performance on Tuesday evening, Conte was full of praise for Fabregas.
Cesc is an intelligent player, a clever player and he sees the game, he feels the situation. I’m pleased for him, because in the games when he didn’t start in the line-up he always had a great attitude.
