Cesc Fabregas has revealed that Arsenals signing of Mesut Ozil meant that the club decided not to sign him over the summer break, according to the Express.The Spanish international - who used to captain the Gunners - has admitted that Arsenal had the first option to re-sign him after agreeing a buy back clause with Barcelona, who the player had signed for in 2011.Fabregas admits that the Premier League is the best in the world and as soon as he had an opportunity to move back, he was going to make it happen. But he insisted that Arsenals decision not to take him back made his decision to go to Chelsea easier.He said: I was always going back to the Premier League because, to me, theres no other league around the world thats better than it.Arsenal had the first option - it was written in the contract - and so they could have said yes but they decided not to. They told me now Ozil was there, there was no need for me.Thats life. No problem. We move on. Life moves on. Football moves on. Changing clubs is part of the game and people must remember it was Arsenal who didnt take up the buy-back option for me.What am I going to do, retire? No way.I can understand some people at Arsenal are sad, some people are upset, some people are even angry. But I have to look after myself. I had to make a decision.Any team I would have gone to, apart from Arsenal, it would have been bad to them.
