Former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has signed for an Italian Seria B club Como after the expiration of his contract at Monaco on a free transfer, he is expected to help the club in gaining promotion to Seria A, I believe with his wealth of experience in European leagues he will help the club to achieve their aim, though he is already 35 nevertheless he will make an impact and asset to the team, he can still play competitive football in some more couples of years ahead provided that he is injury-free.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62381661I do not expect that a player like Fabregas at his age will be able to create the momentum that will promote the serie B side to serie A. Even when Fabregas was at the peak of his career, he wasn't that kind of player that produces so much energy to drive a club. That physical and mental force is not there. He is just like Ozil. They play good football and make decent and visionary passes, but they are not team drivers. At 35, Fabregas is going to chill off to ensure that he doesn't stay out of salary till he retires.
Fabregas has always been a great midfielder and I always thought that he can be an essential part of any team. But I also agree that he was not someone who can be effective in a game-changing way for any team. I think he is going to end his career soon. He has moved down to Serie-B and I think he will perform well in this league. But obviously not at the level that some people might expect.
As an Arsenal supporter, I will always remember how Cesc Fabregas performed as a midfielder. His performance when he played for Arsenal
was extraordinary, no wonder Barcelona bought him in 2011. But after playing in several big European clubs, I didn't think that at the end of
his career Fabregas chose to move to Como. Although I'm glad Fabregas is still playing at the age of 35, he shouldn't be playing for a Serie B club.
Even though Fabregas should have chosen to move to MLS like most other European players when he ended his career as a professional footballer.
Besides, I agree with the opinion that Fabregas is not the type of player who can change the game at his age. Even when playing at Monaco,
Fabregas didn't get much playing time. But the arrival of Fabregas to Como can increase the club's income with the popularity that Fabregas has.
At least Como can sell more match tickets, merchandise and possibly bring in new sponsors.
However some of those players are likely to leave soon. Apart from that they should be thinking about having Cucurella in the starting eleven also. Chelsea might go up to 50 million pounds quicker than Manchester City maybe but then Manchester City might also make the same offer.
