Fabregas has hinted the 26-year-old hasn&#8217;t been doing enough in training and asked for more.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Speaking in a press conference with the Italian media, he said: &#8220;I&#8217;ll wait for you and give you more opportunities, yes, but you show me more in training.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Back when signing the German winger, the former Arsenal and Chelsea star said: &#8220;Nico is sharp, technical, and understands space really well. He brings creativity and intensity &#8211; qualities that fit exactly how we want to play. He\u2019ll give us something different in Serie A.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Kuhn said it was an easy decision to join the ambitious Serie A newcomers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  He explained: &#8220;I\u2019m really excited to be here. I had a long chat with the coach and I can\u2019t wait to get out on the pitch, familiarise myself with the stadium and play in front of our fans.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;The decision was easy: the project is ambitious, and I want to be part of it, doing my best to help the team grow and achieve increasingly important goals.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;The city is beautiful &#8211; a real film set! I\u2019m happy to start this new adventure in such a beautiful place.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The former Celtic winger was a marquee signing for the Serie A outfit in a \u00a317million transfer last&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367897,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-367896","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
