Turkish giants Fenerbahce are weighing up a temporary move for Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas. The Spaniard has made a solitary league start for the Blues this season.

Fabregas has fallen out-of-favour under Antonio Conte this term, and his situation looks unlikely to improve in the near future.

The World Cup winner was sidelined for the 4-0 mauling of Manchester United over the weekend, but he still remains behind the likes of N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic in the queue for a midfield role.

According to Goal, Fener president Aziz Yildirim is eyeing a loan-cum-buy option for Fabregas as he is in pressure to bring a marquee signing to Istanbul.

AC Milan and Manchester City have also been credited with interest for the former Arsenal man. Fabregas could be in line to start in midweek as Chelsea take on local rivals West Ham United in the EFL Cup.
