Agent Enzo! Fernandez trying to convince Paulo Dybala to join Chelsea

Enzo Fernandez has revealed he is trying to convince Paulo Dybala to join him at Chelsea this summer.

The Blues have been linked with the Roma striker, who is reportedly available for around £10million to foreign due to a clause in his contract and manager Mauricio Pochettino has previous interest in the player.

Chelsea have therefore been linked with the Argentine as they weigh up a third attacking signing of the summer, following Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson.

Fernandez knows Dybala from his time with the national team, and won the World Cup together last year, and hopes to link up with him again in London.

Asked about Chelsea's links with Dybala, Fernandez told Ole: "Yes, I saw something about that. We’ll see. I hope he comes.

Dybala was also getting the hard sell from Thiago Silva at the British Grand Prix over the weekend.

He told Sky Sport Italia: "I saw Paulo Dybala here, [the media] talk about him coming to Chelsea.

"I’ve talked with him and asked him if he is coming. He is a world-class player. I would love to play with him and it would be a massive signing. Let’s see."
