CHELSEA MUST DO ALL THEY CAN TO KEEP FABREGAS -BABAYARO

Chelsea must not allow Cesc Fabregas to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, Celestine Babayaro has told talkSPORT.
Fabregas has had to settle for a reduced role under Antonio Conte this season, with the majority of his 30 appearances coming off the bench.
He has been an impressive performer whenever he has been called upon and was man of the match in
Monday’s 3-0 win over Middlesbrough after being handed a rare start.
There is speculation Fabregas could quit the Premier League champions-elect at the end of the season in search of more regular game time, and
AC Milan are being linked with a move for the World Cup winner.
But, according to former Chelsea defender Babayaro, it would be a big mistake on Antonio Conte’s part to let the 29-year-old go.
"He is an unbelievable player," said the Nigerian, who spent eight years with the Blues.
“They are talking about Fabregas going to AC Milan and here and there, but Chelsea should do everything possible to make sure he stays at Chelsea.
“You saw the way he controlled the midfield yesterday [against Boro]. He was just unbelievable - picking people out and spraying passes left, right and centre.”
Babayaro has also praised manager Conte for the job he has done at the Bridge.
Chelsea need just one more win to clinch the title in the Italian's debut season at the helm and could claim a domestic double, having reached the FA Cup final.
"Conte has done a great job in his first season," said Babayaro, who was speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show.
"The way he has transformed Chelsea this season has been unbelievable.
"He started with a back four, went to a back three, and now everyone knows what he wants them to do. Everyone is in sync.
"They kill teams off... and Conte is going to go a long way in Chelsea."
