He announced himself to the world at Arsenal before moving to Barcelona in 2011. He lasted three years in Spain before he returned to London, this time with Chelsea, where he won two Premier League titles.

Arnold, an Arsenal fan, documented how his love journey with Fabregas started.

You are the reason I began to watch football. I still remember the nights in my junior middle school when I was listening to the radio, we didn't have a television. When you came to Beijing with Chelsea in the summer of 2017, I finally got a chance to watch your magic performance in person.

A few years ago, I accidentally met a girl, and I was so excited to find that she has been a crazy fan of yours since 2010. She even wrote her admiration to you and sent it to Arsenal but somehow no response when she was young. The mutual love of Fabregas led us to get together!

Arnold had a further request for the now 35-year-old star.

This will be my wish come true if you could take a video for us. Thank you and I wish you all the best in Italy, my wife and I will always support you wherever you are!!!

Cesc Fabregas pleads with Lionel Messi to return to Barcelona

Sports Brief previously reported that Cesc Fabregas had come out to plead with his long-time friend Lionel Messi to quit Paris Saint-Germain immediately and return to Barcelona.

Reports of a possible Messi return to Camp Nou were intensified when Barcelona President Joan Laporta said he would do anything possible to ensure Messi retires at the club.

Last year, Messi quit Barcelona after it became apparent that the club could not afford to renew his contract due to its deep financial constraints. The Argentine international left his club for the last 15 years and quickly sealed a move to PSG.
