Cesc Fabregas chose Chelsea over Arsenal to win trophies - Jose Mourinho

Cesc Fabregas returns to Emirates with his new club Chelsea to face his former club Arsenal on Sunday as it will be  his first match of Premier League at Arsenal since leaving the club.

Arsenal had a chance to re-sign Fabregas but playmaker decided to sign for Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho claimed Cesc Fabregas chose Chelsea above Arsenal because of the promise of winning trophies.

Fabregas returned to London from Barcelona last year, opting for Stamford Bridge above the Emirates Stadium, where he was Arsene Wenger's captain.

'I know why he chose Chelsea,' Mourinho said.

'I don't know why he didn't choose Arsenal. I only know what we promised him and what he promised us.

'I can't talk about why he left Arsenal, why he didn't go back. I don't know if it was his decision or the manager's decision. We promised him a team built in the style to suit his play.

'Normally good projects go in hand with titles and he was looking for that.'
