Antonio Conte’s Chelsea are now one of the most inform teams in the Premier League this season. With 5 back to back victories without conceding a goal, Chelsea are looking stronger and stronger the more they play and the 5-0 drubbing against Everton was a sign of things to come. The manager added the likes of N Golo Kante, David Luiz, Marcos Alonso and Michy Batshuayi to the Chelsea squad in the summer but after taking charge of 11 games at the club, he now has a clear picture of how he wants his squad in years to come. That will see Chelsea let go of a number of star players in the next few transfer windows. One such player who may be on his way out of the team on loan in January is Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
One of the most decorated players in the world of football at the moment, Fabregas is still one of the best midfielders in the world. At 29, he still has a lot of game left in him but Antonio Conte does not seem to favor him and is set to let him leave in January. London rivals West Ham are favourites at the moment to land the midfielder but what will he add to their squad.
The experience and technique that Fabregas has will instantly improve any team in the Premier League and Slaven Bilic will not think twice before adding him to his squad. At the moment, the Hammers have the likes of Mark Noble and Pedro Obiang monitoring the midfield of the side in Bilic’s 3-4-3 formation. Both players have not been at their best and have not helped the side in the midfield so far this season. The duo have failed to give their side a foothold in the midfield and that has had a huge effect on the game.
Fabregas – rated at €48m – if moves to West Ham, will replace either of the players and will be expected to be given a free floating role in the midfield that can make the whole team a lot stronger. At 29, Fabregas has acute understanding of the game that might help him improve the recent performance of West Ham and his creativity will help the side in crunch games. Neither of the current midfielders in the squad have what it takes to break defenses open with intelligent passes and Bilic will be spending on such wit if he makes a move for the Spaniard in January.
Though not the quickest anymore, Fabregas has enough skill and experience to help the Hammers in the midfield and having a player like Fabregas will also help the likes of Payet and Lanzini to improve on their form. Fabregas will surely create chances in most teams he plays but it will up to the Hammers to take full advantage of it if they do get Fabregas on loan in January.
Do you think a move to the Olympic stadium is the right one for Fabregas?
