Cesc Fabregas is already a very unpopular man among Tottenham fans, having lifted trophies with their two biggest rivals, and has now risked angering them further by suggesting that Antonio Conte could walk away from the club this summer.
Fabregas played under the Italian during their time together at Chelsea, forming a brilliant partnership with Nemanja Matic in the centre of the Blues’ midfield.
The Spaniard made 86 appearances under Conte, winning a Premier League and an FA Cup in the process, and knows the now-Spurs boss well.
And, speaking to London World, the World Cup winner warned that he could picture Conte leaving the club this summer should Tottenham not secure Champions League football this season.
