Fabregas' Monaco Move Delayed
Cesc Fabregas' move to AS Monaco has reportedly been delayed as Chelsea await the signing of his replacement
Cesc Fabregas has agreed a three-year deal with Monaco, but whether he moves in January or at the end of the season will be decided by Chelsea's ability to find a replacement for him, according to Sky Sports.
The Spaniard left the field against Nottingham Forest looking emotional in what seemed to be a final appearance in English football, but he may yet be needed if the Blues are unable to sign a midfielder this month.
However, that scenario appears unlikely, with Chelsea reportedly close to deals for Cagliari's Nicolo Barella and Zenit St Petersburg's Leandro Paredes.
