Arsenal look set to hand Todd Boehly a helpful boost in Chelsea's mission to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica. The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this month as Graham Potter looks to bolster his midfield.
football.london understands that signing Fernandez remains the Blues' priority. The west Londoners are said to have held extensive talks yesterday with the Portuguese giants and tabled an offer which is thougth to be worth in excess of the £105million release clause in the 22-year-old's contract.
However, the fee would be spread out over instalments rather than being paid in one go. The Argentina international is eager to join Chelsea this month and it's understood he's reiterated his intent to leave to Benfica.
