Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has revealed he is becoming a student of the game by delving into the tactics used by incoming manager Antonio Conte.

Fabregas told Sky Sports' Monday Night Football team that he has closely watched some of Conte's previous and current teams in action in a bid to understand exactly what the Italy boss will bring to Stamford Bridge when he replaces interim manager Guus Hiddink this summer.

"I love football and I've been studying a little bit what he does with his previous teams," said the Spanish ace.

"I played against his Italy recently and it's really interesting.

"You can see that he loves offensive football and you can see that tactically his teams are so well organised."
