Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has been compared to two of Real Madrid's greatest players as the Argentine maestro looks to emulate his World Cup success with European victory as well this season. The 22-year-old rose to prominence rapidly after his £10m move from South America to Benfica over the summer and hasn't looked back since.
Commanding the third largest transfer fee in history after joining the Blues for £106.7 million in the January transfer window, Fernandez has had a whirlwind ride in the past nine months but looks to have settled quickly in London already. It was important for his new team and manager that he did so, with pressure mounting on Graham Potter in the past two months.
The integration of Fernandez into the team has been one of the reasons Potter and his side have managed to turn things around in the past week. Playing as a tempo-dictator in front of defence and alongside many different partners already, his sublime lofted assist for Kai Havertz against Leicester in the 3-1 victory on Saturday was his second in the league.
