"‘I have been waiting to get involved in a project like Como for a long time," Henry stated. "A club with ambition but most importantly one that holds the same values as me - that the club and its local community both need to thrive."

"When I spoke to the team here and they told me about the community initiatives already in place and the ambition to ensure that as the club prospers so does the community, I knew this was the perfect opportunity for me."

Como CEO also spoke about the deal and said it was a pleasure to have the former Premier League star on board.

"It gives us great pleasure to introduce Thierry Henry. After explaining our vision of where we want to be as a club being part of the community and our ambition to get to Serie A."

Fabregas joined the club on a free transfer from Ligue 1 side, AS Monaco this summer before he became a part-owner alongside Henry.

Como has also added another popular Premier League star to the team after Wolverhampton striker Patrick Cutrone put pen to paper on a three-year deal.
