Chelsea’s £105million pursuit of Enzo Fernandez may not be the only World Cup addition made at Stamford Bridge this month. The Benfica midfielder has been strongly linked with a move after his five-star outing in Qatar with Argentina and Graham Potter’s side look to be leading the race.
The Blues appear to be edging closer to landing the 21-year-old despite the formalities of the finances needing to be ironed out before the deal is completed. Recent reports insist Chelsea are "one step closer" to signing Fernandez as Todd Boehly searches for fresh blood in midfield.
The New Year's Day draw at Nottingham Forest perfectly summarised the frailties within Graham Potter's squad across the board. From a lack of quality in the final third to the struggles to keep the Premier League strugglers quiet, Chelsea are in much need of further reinforcements in January.
