New Norwich City midfielder Tony Andreu 'like Cesc Fabregas'

Norwich City new boy Tony Andreu has been likened to Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas by former Rangers defender Dave MacKinnon.

The 26-year-old followed manager Alex Neil down to Norwich from Hamilton Academical for a reported fee of £1m.

Prior to his move, the Frenchman had scored 13 goals in 26 games from midfield for Hamilton.

"He reminds me very much of Cesc Fabregas," MacKinnon told BBC Radio Norfolk. "He's similar in appearance to Cesc and in his skill set.

"He plays slightly further forward, but he's a really top player."

Andreu could make his Canaries debut when they host rockbottom Blackpool in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
