Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has held clear-the-air talks with Cesc Fabregas.

Calciomercato.com says Conte has convinced Fabregas to stay at Stamford Bridge following crunch talks.

The 29-year-old was heavily linked with leaving the club over the summer but any possible exit failed to materialise.

Conte has assured the playmaker he is part of his plans and has told him to put any negotiations with other clubs on hold.

Fabregas is yet to start a league game under Conte and will hope to feature against Liverpool on tomorrow night.
