Former Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas has defended one of his former clubs today.

Febregas was asked about Arsenal's whopping £105 million transfer for Declan Rice from West Ham United.

While the England international has only played a few games as a Gunner, Fabregas already believes he is well worth the money.

He told Sky Sports: "You can see straight away his personality and his quality.

"He already brings a new dimension to the team.

"He's one of those players that doesn't really need too much time to adapt to the philosophy or whatever it is they are doing because he's so smart.

"As I said, he's got the personality to play for a very big club.

"I've been following him already for a few seasons at West Ham and he could be a great, great leader for Arsenal."
