Fabregas: I’d love to feel what it’s like to be Theo Walcott

Cesc Fabregas gave what many will see as an unusual answer when asked which footballer he would like to switch bodies with at a recent Q&A.

  • Fabregas runs 28.73km/h – slow than Giroud at 29.19km/h
  • Theo and Cesc played together at Arsenal from 2006 to 2011
  • Chelsea playmaker would love to know how it feels to run as fast as Theo

Fabregas is best known for his ability to pick a pass through the eye of a needle and create a beautiful bit of play from nothing.

However, he’s not the fastest player. In fact, he’s actually slower than Olivier Giroud.

Therefore, when asked as a recent Q&A for Carabao which player he would like to switch bodies with, the Chelsea playmaker named one of his ex-teammates at Arsenal: Theo Walcott.

“Someone where they give you a long ball and you just pass the players. I’ve never had this feeling unfortunately!” He said.

“I would really like to have felt what it would be like to be a Theo Walcott.

“I remember at Arsenal I used to pass him the ball over the top and I knew he could get there whatever it takes.

“To have this feeling, to be so superior on the long runs and pass everyone – I would have loved that.”
