Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has confirmed he was rejected by Arsenal over the summer. Former Gunners captain Cesc left Barca for Chelsea last summer after falling out with the Nou Camp crowd.
"Arsenal had the first option," he revealed.
"They could have said 'Yes', but decided not to.
"They told me they already had (Mesut) Özil and did not need me."
