Chelsea receive stunning Andrey Santos transfer verdict from Brazil legend Juninho

Chelsea could have the answer to their midfield issue coming from an unlikely source. It's the centre of the pitch that has caused them most problems this season and has lead to the pursuit of Benfica's Enzo Fernandez.

The Argentina star is seen as one part of the solution to a lack of mobility in midfield available to Graham Potter but could cost as much as £106million due to his release clause. Chelsea are also willing to potentially end up paying more than that depending on the payment structure.

However there is a chance that Fernandez may already have a new midfield partner at Stamford Bridge. Although big targets Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham are set to be on the move in the summer there is another player on their way in already. 18-year-old Andrey Santos has agreed a deal to move from Vasco da Gama in January for around £13million.
