Speaking to GOAL, former Morrison suggested that Fabregas should looking to take a stepping stone Premier League job and that ‘Crystal Palace could be that.’

“Palace could be that. I've also seen Cesc Fabregas linked to Chelsea - he was a very good player there,” he said.

“You just never know. A young manager like that, I'd take Cesc Fabregas at Palace for sure. What he's doing at Como, he's been outstanding. 

“He's worked with a younger group and their results this season have been brilliant. So if Cesc Fabregas is linked to Crystal Palace and does become available, he's someone I really would be interested in.

“He was an intelligent footballer, a very good footballer, and I think he'd be very suitable for the club. If that opportunity came around for Palace to sign him, I'd jump at him straight away.”
