'Cesc Fabregas told me I was perfect for him' - Como youngster Jacobo Ramon learning 'a lot' from ex-Arsenal & Chelsea star since joining from Real Madrid

Ramon joined Como from Real Madrid in the summer for €2.5 million after a call from coach Fabregas convinced him the club was the ideal place to continue his career. While Fabregas influenced his move, compatriots Nico Paz and Assane Diao have helped him settle in Italy. 

“Cesc and I immediately understood each other. The project is ambitious; I found a perfect environment and many friends already in the team. I started straight away with two games as a starter and I couldn't have asked for more. He told me I was perfect for him, and I was thrilled to come.” he said in an interview to Sky Italy. "I've already learned a lot [from Fabregas] in just a few weeks. He did a great job last year, and having him as my coach is a privilege."

He added: "Nico Paz is a close friend; I'm not surprised by what he's showing. I know his talent well and hope he stays with me for a long time at Como."

Ramon, a graduate of Real Madrid’s famed La Fábrica academy, rose through the youth ranks before earning a call-up from Carlo Ancelotti, featuring in three La Liga matches and one Champions League game. Though sold to Como, Madrid have retained a buy-back option on the defender. 

Ramon, who started and finished all three of Como's games so far, will now hope to earn more playing time and gain more knowledge under the tutelage of Fabregas. Como will hope that Ramon can take the path of Paz, who has caught a great deal of attention with his performances in Serie A.
