Arsenal are ready to make an incredible bid to bring former Gunners midfielder Cesc Fabregas back to the Emirates, according to the Express.

Fabregas has not been a regular starter under Antonio Conte, with the new manager preferring Nemanja Matic and N’Golo Kante in midfield.

An injury to Matic did give Fabregas a start against Manchester City on Saturday though, and he responded by setting up Diego Costa’s goal in a 3-1 win.

If that is still not enough to convince Conte then Arsene Wenger is waiting to pounce, according to sources, who say that the Frenchman would like to bring his former midfielder back to the club.

It would, of course, be a massive move and has several huge obstacles in front of it, with Chelsea unlikely to sell a player to a title rival, while Gunners fans are hardly enamoured with the 29-year-old after the manner of his exit.
