Cesc Fabregas has hit back at Arsenal fan who accused him of being a "snake".

The Spaniard spent eight years at Arsenal before joining Barcelona in 2014, returning to England three years later with Chelsea.

The move infuriated Gunners fans, with one in particular describing Fabregas as a snake in reference to an incident where he appeared to kiss the Chelsea badge while at the Emirates.

In response, Fabregas said: "If you think I'm capable of doing what you are suggesting I did, you don't know me at all and my feelings towards all of you whatsoever," he posted.

"I was actually telling the fans they will always be in my heart, but of course your interpretation must be misguided by a simple image."
