Biography |
|
Francesc "Cesc" Fābregas Soler (born 4 May 1987 in Arenys de
Mar, Catalonia, Spain) is a Spanish footballer who plays as
a central midfielder for Arsenal in the English Premier
League and for the Spanish national team. Fābregas started
his career as a trainee with FC Barcelona but was signed by
Arsenal in July 2003. He did not feature much in his first
season for The Gunners, but following injuries to key
midfielders in the 200405 season, his playing time
increased. Before long, he established himself as Arsenal's
starting central midfielder and playmaker. He went on to
break several of the club's records as he began to earn a
reputation of a technically-gifted player, excellent passer
of the ball and key component of the Arsenal lineup. In
international football, the Spaniard's national career began
at the youth level, representing the Under-17 side at the
2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Finland. As a result of
his club performances, he was called up the senior squad and
played in the 2006 World Cup. In 2006, Fābregas committed
his long-term future to Arsenal and signed an eight-year
contract. |
