Chelsea star reveals 'priceless' Enzo Fernandez quality after £106m transfer

Enzo Fernandez is Chelsea's second World Cup winner in the squad. He joins N'Golo Kante in the team with experience of lifting the famous trophy.

Although the Argentine did it before joining the Blues, his achievements in Qatar are just as remarkable. At the time of the tournament he was a 21-year-old having only made his international debut three months earlier. By the end of the final he had played every minute since coming on as a second half substitute and scoring against Mexico in the second group game.

His position as the fulcrum in an ever changing midfield dynamic with Alex Mac Allister and Rodrigo De Paul was the foundation for Lionel Scaloni's men and Fernandez's versatility was crucial. Across his senior career so far he has played as a No10, as a deep-lying playmaker, in a lone pivot and as part of a double pivot too.
