Chelsea have found a gem. Enzo Fernandez may have cost £106.8m and shown the planet what he can do at Qatar but little of that will matter. The Argentine is a special midfielder.
In just over six weeks in England he has already shown serious signs of why he is rated so highly and what justified his mammoth release clause at Benfica. With two assists already, more than Jorginho had at Stamford Bridge in the league since the start of last season, he is transforming those around him.
For too long Chelsea have been easy to play against. Slow, passive and methodical in possession. With Fernandez they can continue to dictate tempo with precision but his range of passing and speed of play is unlike anything they have had for a while.
