EPL: He’s strong, aggressive – Fabregas hails Arsenal, Man Utd transfer target

Former Chelsea midfielder, Cesc Fabregas has heaped praise on Arsenal and Manchester United target, Youssouf Fofana, who has been linked with a move to both Old Trafford and Emirates Stadium.

Fabregas said the Frenchman is strong and aggressive, adding that he fits the Premier League football style.

The Spanaird and Fofana were former teammates at AS Monaco.

Fofona has been tipped for an exit from the Stade Louis II and could reportedly be available for just £20 million this summer.

Arsenal and Manchester United have both been named as admirers of the 25-year-old as they look to bolster their midfield options ahead of next season.

“I played with him, funnily enough I never heard about Man United, I heard that he was going to AC Milan because [Paulo] Fonseca probably is going to go there, so let’s see where he goes,” Fabregas said as quoted by The Boot Room.

“But a very dynamic, strong player, good on the ball, a modern type of player, aggressive, can jump, he’s box to box.

“I really like Fofana and I think he fits very well the Premier League style.”
