Arsenal legend Adams "saddened" by Cesc Chelsea move

Arsenal legend Tony Adams is "saddened" by Cesc Fabregas' move to Chelsea. Cesc joined Chelsea from Barcelona on Thursday.

"I can understand why Arsene Wenger did not want to re-sign him," Adams told the Daily Express. .

"He has a lot of outstanding players, and don't forget Arsenal only paid £40m for Mesut Ozil last year..

"They've already got Aaron [Ramsey], Jack [Wilshere], Alex [Oxlade-Chamberlain] and Santi [Cazorla] and I could go on. They have a lot of those types of players..

"Maybe Wenger thought we didn't need that type of player. It saddened me because he was Arsenal captain and it's a shame he's not coming back."
