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!”

Fabregas previously praised Palmer, calling him a “game-changer” and suggesting that Chelsea might consider building the team around him.
