Chelsea signing Cesc Fabregas admits Arsenal told him he was not wanted by Arsene Wenger.Arsenal had first option on Cesc after he chose to leave Barcelona last week.
Fabregas said: "There came a moment when I decided my time at Barcelona was over and I only tried to look for the best option for me.
"Arsenal were the first option due to a clause in the contract. We spoke with Wenger and he said that with Ozil they had this position well covered.
"From there, I had other very good offers and I looked for the best in the Premier League, which is where I wanted to go.
"I spoke with Jose Mourinho and he won me over, he convinced me, told me what I wanted to hear and from there everything was very quick.
"I hope that this new phase of my career goes phenomenally well."
