Former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas praises Spurs' Antonio Conte appointment

Cesc Fabregas has acknowledged that he is impressed by Tottenham Hotspur's appointment of head coach Antonio Conte.

A day after parting ways with Nuno Espirito Santo, Spurs announced that they have brought in the 52-year-old as the Portuguese's successor.

On the back of his success at Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan, the move by chairman Daniel Levy has received widespread praise.

That also applies with Fabregas, the former Arsenal midfielder who also worked under Conte during his successful period with fellow London rivals Chelsea.

I hate to say it but what an appointment by Spurs.

During Chelsea's Premier League title-winning campaign under Conte during 2016-17, Fabregas contributed five goals and 12 assists from just 29 appearances.
