Chelsea handed Enzo Fernandez debut deadline amid Premier League registration rules

Chelsea's January transfer business went right to the wire on deadline day, but they finally secured their top target late into the night. That was the signing of Enzo Fernandez, the eighth signing of a hectic winter window for the Blues under the direction of their new American ownership.

Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, Mykhailo Mudryk, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos, Noni Madueke and Malo Gusto round up the rest of the month, but now all focus is back on the pitch. There can be no more tinkering of the squad until the end of the season, meaning it's the job of Graham Potter and his staff to extract results from his squad.

The side currently sit tenth in the Premier League and knocked out of both domestic cup competitions, requiring a clear up turn in form as well as a potential run in the Champions League. With such a large expenditure in the past two transfer windows, there will be the weight of expectation too.
