Cesc Fabregas urges fans not to believe everything they read as he hits back at a “FAKE” social media post that put him at the center of a debate between Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka

Cesc Fabregas has hit back at a social media account which shamefully placed him at the center of a debate over Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer.

The England internationals have regularly been the subject of heated debate between fans of their respective clubs due to their similar playing style, age and position.

Saka and Palmer are the last two recipients of the PFA Young Player of the Year award and interim England coach Lee Carsley has struggled to accommodate his pair of talented right wingers.

In this context, Fabregas, who played for both clubs – Arsenal and Chelsea – was listed in an account

“I assure you that Palmer cannot get a starting place in the top six of the EPL, except maybe Manchester United and Tottenham.” Saka is on every team in the universe. For me this debate is irrelevant. Yes, sir. Debate closed!’ That’s what the world champion is said to have said.

Since moving from Manchester City to Chelsea, Palmer has experienced a meteoric rise

Bukayo Saka has been a crucial part of Arsenal’s transformation from Champions League chasers to Premier League challengers

Fabregas hit back at a social media account that attributed to him statements he never said

In fact, the Como coach praised the Chelsea youngster’s talents in an interview with the BBC.

Responding to the erroneous post that circulated on If you have talents, just enjoy them! #Fake!’

Last week, Palmer was named England’s Player of the Year for 2023-24 despite only making nine caps for his country. The 22-year-old scored 31 goals in 54 games in all competitions last season and was hailed by some as the best player in the Premier League at the moment.

His fiery exploits led to him gaining recognition at international level when the striker made his Three Lions debut against Malta last November.

The prestigious Player of the Year gong was voted for by the public and Palmer emerged winner ahead of Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, with the Real Madrid midfielder second and the Arsenal ace third.

Saka has emerged winner in the last two seasons, while captains such as Captain Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney and David Beckham have also won the award over the years.
