After three appearances in three competitions while on loan at Arsenal, the Argentinian forward enjoyed greater success north of the border at Dundee.
A strong and skilful striker, Fabian produced some promising performances for Dundee after signing during the 2000 close season only to suffer a bad injury playing against local rivals Dundee United. He was subsequently out of action for several months, returning towards the end of the campaign to help the Dens Park club clinch a top-six place. Hailing from a town close to the border with Paraguay, Fabian first came to prominence with Cerro Porteno and had a spell on loan at Arsenal in the second half of the 1998-99 campaign, although he made just three appearances from the subs' bench for the Gunners. He returned to Paraguay where he had spells with Atletico Tembetary and Sol de America, for whom he hit 13 goals during the 2000 Apertura (opening) championship to finish as the competition's leading scorer and earn himself a transfer to Scotland.
