​Appointment of new Chelsea boss Sarri welcomed by Fabregas

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas is looking forward to working under new head coach Maurizio Sarri.

The former Napoli manager, has only taken charge at Stamford Bridge this week, following the departure of Antonio Conte.

"His way of football, I believe in," said the Spain international.

"I really like it, I grew up in this system, in this quality of football, that he wants to bring to the football club.

"I think the type of player like myself, we can take a lot of advantage. We just have to train very hard, be united, be a team."

"Whatever he decides how we play and how he wants to play, we will need to figure it out and try to win trophies, which is the main thing," he said.

"We want to play well, we want to be attractive, but we want to win as well, so it is an important season in front of us."
