CESC FABREGAS has sent Chelsea fans into frenzy after posting a photo of himself and Pedro onto his social media page.
The Spanish midfielder shows off his new bulked-up body to his 9.49million Twitter followers.
Following Antonio Conte’s promise to give the midfielder more game time next term – he certainly appears to be putting in work.
The 30-year-old looks like he is spending a lot of time in the gym during Chelsea’s pre-season tour of the Far East.
Fabregas spent a stint on the sidelines last season, with just 13 Premier League starts overall.
However, fan-favourite Fab still managed to bag seven goals and 13 assists.
The arrival of Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko to Chelsea this summer will provide more competition for a first-team spot in the midfield.
AC Milan have voiced their interest in the the Spain international, but Conte seems set on keeping him at Stamford Bridge.
Conte will be viewing the experienced Spaniard as his third option in central midfield – behind N’Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko.
With Nathaniel Chalobah exiting the Bridge for Watford and Matic likely to follow, Conte will need Fabregas to bolster his midfield options.
The former Arsenal man still has a point to prove at the Bridge following his £28million move from Barcelona in 2014.
