Jose Mourinho: 'Arsenal made Fabregas but he now loves Chelsea'

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho reveals that Cesc Fabregas loves Chelsea, despite Arsenal being the team that "made" him.

Jose Mourinho has revealed that Arsenal may have "made" Cesc Fabregas, but the Spaniard is now fully committed to Chelsea.

Fabregas faces his former club for the first time in a Chelsea shirt on Sunday, with Jose Mourinho believing that the playmaker has fallen in love with the Blues.

"Arsenal made him. I wouldn't be happy if he came here saying he didn't care about Arsenal and that he forgot all that and now it's just about Chelsea - but I think he loves Chelsea already," Mourinho told reporters.

"If you ask him now if he regrets the move, I'm sure he'd say no. If you ask him if he'd choose a different option, he'd say no. And if you ask him where he thinks he'll be in five years' time, he'd say he sees himself here in five years' time. He is Chelsea.

"We knew he was perfect for us. We tried. We tried hard and we succeeded and he's been phenomenal."

Chelsea and Arsenal both remain unbeaten going into their match at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
