Former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has named his all-time Premier League XI, with four former Gunners and only two former Blues making the cut.
Fabregas, who retired in July 2023 after a glittering 20-year career, has chosen a team that reflects his own playing style and the players he most admired during his time in England.
In goal, Fabregas has opted for David Seaman, with Ashley Cole and John Terry forming a solid defensive partnership in front of him. Rio Ferdinand and Kyle Walker complete the back four.
In midfield, Patrick Vieira and Steven Gerrard are joined by Cristiano Ronaldo, with David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne battling it out for the final spot.
Up front, Fabregas has gone for two of the Premier League’s most iconic strikers in Thierry Henry and Didier Drogba.
Fabregas’ team is a formidable one, and it’s sure to get fans talking. It’s a testament to the quality of the Premier League that a player of Fabregas’ caliber can name so many world-class players in his all-time XI.
Here is Fabregas’ Premier League dream team in full:
* Goalkeeper: David Seaman
* Defenders: Ashley Cole, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Kyle Walker
* Midfielders: Patrick Vieira, Steven Gerrard, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Silva/Kevin de Bruyne
* Forwards: Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba
