Chelsea's hopes of completing the blockbuster January transfer signing of Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez are continuing to increase following overnight talks between the two parties.
Fernandez, 21, has been identified as Todd Boehly's No. 1 priority this month in a bid to overhaul Graham Potter's midfield. Amid the uncertainty of Jorginho and N'Golo Kante's future at the club, work is well underway at recruiting the next stars to pull the strings in the middle at Stamford Bridge
Having only moved to Portugal from Argentine side River Plate for £10million in the summer, Fernandez is set to provide his current employers a massive pay-off should Chelsea secure his services. The Benfica star has become one of Europe's standout players following stellar performances in the Champions League and World Cup.
