Chelsea sign five-year deal with Cesc Fabregas for £30 million from Barcelona

Cesc Fabregas completed his shocking £30million switch to Chelsea yesterday and confirmed Arsenal snubbed the chance to re-sign him. But he told disappointed Arsenal fans on Twitter "Once a gunner, always a gunner" after admitting the club turned down the option to buy him back.

The 27-year-old has returned to the Premier League and will wear the No.4 shirt. The player's former club Arsenal has a buy-back option, inserted when the Spaniard left the Emirates in 2011.
