'They press you from behind, one touch, they press you from the front, maybe you need to move a little further to play it diagonally more easily, and this is what I worked on. 'Yesterday, he gave an assist, and I almost went into the centre of the field to shake hands because we worked so much on this, and then he told me: "Finally, boss, I did it, finally it happened." 'It was nice, because there was so much work that went into it behind the scenes.' After returning to the Italian top-flight for the first time in 21 years, Como have gone on to secure a highly-creditable mid-table position. With two game to go they have 48 points and are sat in 10th position, having gone unbeaten since mid-March. His coaching masterclass on Sky left some fans in raptures, with a number of Arsenal and Chelsea supporters suggesting he could be the future of their clubs.

Fabregas played 303 times under Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, scoring 57 times and providing 97 assists and was made captain before leaving for Pep Guardiola's Barcelona team. 'If, and/or when Mikel Arteta gets sacked or resigns from his managerial role at Arsenal, Cesc Fabregas is the next best man to be new face of Arsenal,' added another. A third Gunners supporter wrote: 'Maybe Cesc should be our priority transfer this summer...' 'Chelsea need to get him asap. He is going to be ready in a season,' one Blues fan chimed in, with another writing: 'You just know that Chelsea is gonna make him manager.'

Man City midfielder to complete £25m move to Cesc Fabregas' Como - with Pep Guardiola's side due huge profit on £9m signing despite playing just twice
Manchester City midfielder Maximo Perrone is completing a £25million move to Como. Perrone joined City from Velez Sarsfield in Argentina two years ago for around £9m, spending last season on loan at Las Palmas. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a run at Serie A this term under Cesc Fabregas, with Como set to finish the campaign in mid table. The club's official website recently labelled Perrone a 'compass', the 'Swiss watch' who keeps 'Como ticking' and they had already triggered a one-year extension to his loan deal. But talks surrounding a permanent switch continued between the two parties and they have struck a deal that will see City almost triple their profit on the central midfielder. 'As far as I'm concerned, I want to stay here, grow and learn more with Como,' Perrone said in February. Back in February he admitted that he was keen to stay at Como and learn under Cesc Fabregas 'I want to give a hand to my team-mates and I'm happy to stay with Cesc. I have an excellent relationship with him. I hope my future is here with Como.' Perrone made two substitute appearances, in the Premier League and FA Cup, for Pep Guardiola's side. Meanwhile, fellow central midfielder Jacob Wright is also set to finalise a permanent move to Norwich City. Wright, an academy product, joined the Canaries on loan in January and is expected to go for just over £2m after 15 appearances in the Championship.
