4 players who need to leave their clubs this January to revive their careers

#2 Cesc Fabregas

Chelsea FC v Southampton FC - Premier League

Another talented player who finds himself on the fringes due to a managerial change. Fabregas has been the epitome of excellence for the entirety of his career ever since bursting onto the scene as a talented midfielder.

The 31-year-old was named the Golden Boy in 2006, following his impressive displays for Arsenal and since then he has gone on to achieve a legendary career, winning almost all there is to win at club and international level.

From Arsenal to Barcelona, Fabregas has excelled in his role as a midfielder, proving himself to be an adept reader of the game. Since his arrival at Chelsea in 2014, Fabregas continued to flourish and was instrumental in helping the club win two Premier League titles.

However, since the arrival of Maurizio Sarri, the World Cup winner has seen himself relegated to the substitutes bench, as the Italian gaffer has shown a preference for Jorginho in Fabregas' preferred role.

The Spanish midfielder is one of a number of high profile players who could be available for free in the summer.
