Chinese Super League club Shandong Luneng have released a statement insisting reports linking them with a move for Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas are ‘fake news’.

The Spain international has been rumoured with a switch to China this month, but Shandong Luneng will definitely not be the club for him.

Fabregas has found starting spots limited at the Blues this season due to manager Antonio Conte choosing to stick by the same eleven for the majority of the campaign.

And with heavy speculation linking Fabregas to the Chinese giants, Shandong Luneng have the released the following statement:

“Yikes! What a super competent agent we have,” the statement read.

“But Fabregas is not our cup of tea.

“Please, for God’s sake do not spread the fake news.

“Shandong Luneng will not buy another foreign player this season.

“Our coaching staff have already made elaborate arrangements for our foreign players.

“In the meantime, we will remain committed to producing home-grown talents for the Luneng academy.

“How about bringing up our own Fabregas.”

The 29-year-old has only managed to start five Premier League fixtures this season, making 21 appearances in all competitions.

Fabregas has been impressive since coming off the bench, bagging four goals as well as grabbing seven assists.

Chelsea have already done successful business with Chinese sides in the January transfer window, with Oscar exiting Stamford Bridge for £52million to join Shanghai SIPG.
