Jose Mourinho's
side are believed to have paid £30m for the Spain international, who has signed
a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge. Fabregas scored eight La Liga goals
for Barcelona and provided a further 19 assists in 36 appearances last season
and thanked the Catalan giants after sealing his move to Stamford
Bridge.
Fabregas told the club's official website: "Firstly I would like to thank everyone
at FC Barcelona where I enjoyed three wonderful years. It was my childhood club
and I will always be proud and honoured that I had a chance to play for such a
great team.
"I do feel that I
have unfinished business in the Premier League and now is the right time to
return.
"I considered all
the other offers very carefully and I firmly believe that Chelsea is the best
choice. They match my footballing ambitions with their hunger and desire to win
trophies. They have an amazing squad of players and an incredible manager. I am
fully committed to this team and I can't wait to start playing."
