Chelsea's new signing Cesc Fabregas has issued a personal video message to the club's supporters after sealing a move from Barcelona on Thursday.

The Spain international, who has penned a five-year deal, revealed that his former club Arsenal decided against activating a buy-back option.

After considering numerous offers, the 27-year-old opted to sign for Jose Mourinho's team and has insisted that he is looking forward to proving his worth at Stamford Bridge.

Once the news was announced, Fabregas posted a video on his Twitter account of himself pledging his commitment to the Blues while wearing a Chelsea number four shirt.
