Cesc's new agent is Darren Dein

Reports earlier in the week suggested Cesc Fabregas had broken off from his long-time agent Joseba Diaz. Some people speculated that this was because Diaz was angling to get him to move to Real Madrid or Barcleona all the time.

Now it has emerged that Darren Dein is Cesc's new agent (Spanish link). The same Darren Dein that rang up Barcelona last summer and said 'Do you still want Thierry Henry?'.

Given the links between Dein and Henry, and Henry being at Barcelona, it would hardly be a surprise if there was an increase in the amount of speculation regarding Cesc's future this summer. It's tiresome enough anyway, it's bound to get worse.

It may be that Dein, as part of the SEM group, can open up new doors in terms of commercial deals and sponsorships for Cesc, but the article also says he'll be handling all his contract negotiations as well.
