Cesc Fabregas hits out at fake quote tweet over Cole Palmer vs Bukayo Saka comparison
Cesc Fabregas has responded to false quotes circulating online regarding Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer, asserting that he never made the statements attributed to him. Fabregas, a former player for both Chelsea and Arsenal, emphasized the importance of enjoying the talents of both players instead of creating unnecessary comparisons.
The controversy arose when a social media user tweeted quotes claiming that Fabregas stated Palmer wouldn’t start for any of the top six Premier League teams except possibly Manchester United and Tottenham, while insisting that Saka would walk into any team.
This prompted Fabregas to take to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify the situation, stating, “The danger of social media is people really believe anything they read… just enjoy them! #Fake!”
Both Saka and Palmer have been in fine form this season, with Saka contributing two goals and seven assists in his first seven league games, while Palmer has netted six goals since joining Chelsea from Manchester City. Fabregas previously praised Palmer, calling him a “game-changer” and suggesting that Chelsea might consider building the team around him.
The danger of social media is people really believe anything they read.

The exchange highlights the increasing scrutiny on young talents in the Premier League, especially as the England national team faces changes in its management. As fans and pundits alike debate the futures of these players, Fabregas’s call to focus on their potential rather than comparisons is a refreshing reminder of the excitement these young stars bring to the game.
