A percentage? It’s too early to say. We’ll go through a period of training and mutual understanding, but Fabregas likes him a lot.”</p>

WHAT COMO DIRECTOR SAID

<p>Ex-Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder Febregas is now calling the shots at Como, with the World Cup winner guiding them to promotion into the Italian top-flight last season.
