I'm here to help  the team."I'm looking forward to starting, we have a great match to play in  Marseille on Sunday. I am very excited."   Fabregas' departure from Chelsea sees him end four-and-a-half years at  Stamford Bridge after he joined the Blues from Barcelona in 2014, with the Spain  international helping the west London outfit win two Premier League titles, the  FA Cup and the League Cup."There is no doubt Fabregas’s place in the Chelsea  history books is assured given his achievements over the past four-and-a-half  seasons," a club statement read.   "Big goals and outstanding moments of quality, all backed up by the ultimate  aim, which is to be part of a successful, trophy-winning team."Fabregas departs  having helped the club achieve great success, as well as providing our  supporters with some wonderful memories."   In total he scored 22 goals and laid on 57 assists during his 198 appearances  for Chelsea, the last of which came on Saturday when he bid an emotional  farewell to the club's fans in the final stages of his side's 2-0 win over  Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.   Cup matches have offered Fabregas the main chance to impress under Maurizio  Sarri, with Jorginho's arrival in the summer forcing Fabregas down the pecking  order in terms of midfield places.   Fabregas' departure will now hasten Sarri's need to find a replacement, with  the Blues working on deals to sign Cagliari's Nicolo Barella and Zenit St.  Petersburg's Leandro Paredes, though there has been no final decision in terms  of what kind of player will be brought in to replace the ex-Arsenal man.What his  departure does do is free up a large chunk of Chelsea's wage bill, with Fabregas  the third-highest paid player at the club behind N'Golo Kante and Eden Hazard  despite only having six months left on his contract.   AC Milan had previously shown an interest in signing him, but they were  priced out of a deal due to upcoming Financial Fair Play sanctions."We are very  pleased to welcome Cesc Fabregas, a world-class player and a great professional,  whose arrival demonstrates the ambition of the club," said Vadim Vasilyev, the  club's vice president and general manager.   "This is obviously a very good reinforcement for the team and we are  convinced that his experience at the highest level will bring a lot to our  players on and off the field."Fabregas could be joined at Monaco by a familiar  face, with the Ligue 1 outfit in advanced talks to sign Chelsea forward Michy  Batshuayi.   Henry is keen to bolster his squad with his side sitting 19th in the table  and five points from guaranteed safety, though they did book themselves a place  in the Coupe de la Ligue semi-finals on Tuesday.</blockquote>
