Cesc Fabregas hit with fine and given six points on driving licence

The 28-year-old’s Aston Martin was stopped on October 27, 2014 – less than 24 hours after Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea had secured a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Spaniard has been penalised for reportedly failing to identify the driver of the swanky vehicle and has since racked up a hefty fine and half of the maximum 12 points allowed on a British driving license.

Fabregas, who resides on Upper Belgrave Street, Knightsbridge, has been ordered to pay £1,000 fine, a £100 victim surcharge and costs of £85 at Staines Magistrates’ Court – though he failed to appear for his hearing.

The former Arsenal midfielder, who left the Gunners to join Barcelona in 2011 before returning to the Premier League after three years – this time with Chelsea – now has until Friday June 5 to pay the court costs.

Fabregas has been a revelation in Chelsea’s midfield this season, helping the Blues to a domestic double, and their first Premier League title since the 2009-19 campaign.

The league winners’ medal was also Fabregas’ first, despite spending eight years with Chelsea’s north London rivals Arsenal between 2003 and 2011.
