"A lot of people tried to talk to me," Carlos Vela told the Inside LAFC podcast when discussing his time at Arsenal, as relayed by Sports Witness.
"They try to make you a better person and player; the one who was always with me the most was Fábregas.
"He spoke the same language so it was easier for me, he always told me the right things, to introduce me to life in London.
"The culture was difficult for me because it was: 'What am I doing here?' – He taught me many things."
The forward went on to make 62 appearances and score 11 goals for Arsenal but failed to live up to expectations.
He is currently bossing it at Los Angeles FC in the MLS though.
Cesc Fabregas was Arsenal captain for three years. The midfielder left the club in 2011 though but says that he still holds the club close to his heart.
Many fans still can't forget him his departure to Barca and the decision to join Chelsea in 2014, though.
