Fabregas: Brexit is a mistake - it will damage the Premier League

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has said that the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union is an error and will damage the Premier League. 

The Spain international joined Arsenal as a 16-year-old and was asked from his country's base in France for his thoughts on Brexit. 

He responded: "It’s a very disappointing decision and I think very negative for many people. 

"Personally, I see it as a mistake. I didn’t expect it. I went to bed optimistic and woke up to this news.

"I think it’s damaging for the Premier League. It’ll be harder to sign players, the salaries will change if the pound gets close to the euro. 

"It’s a decision that will create many complications not just in football, but the daily lives and future of all people."
