LONDON. — Cesc Fabregas has spelled his fears for the English Premier League following Brexit.

Britons took to the polls on Thursday to vote in the European Union referendum.

Fifty-two per cent voted in favour of leaving the EU, and following the result, David Cameron took the decision to resign as Prime Minister on Friday.

Spaniard Fabregas, meanwhile, qualifies as a homegrown player having joined Arsenal when he was 16.

But the 29-year-old, who is now at Chelsea, thinks Britain’s decision to quit the EU could have profound consequences for England’s top flight.

“It’s a very disappointing decision and I think very negative for many people,” Fabregas said. — The Daily Express.
