Graham Potter could have his dream starting line-up if Chelsea can complete the signing of Enzo Fernandez before the January transfer deadline. The Benfica star continues to be heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as Todd Boehly looks to further bolster the club's options.
The Blues have already welcomed six new faces to Cobham this month as they look to mount a late push for a top-four place. But, the Argentina international would be the final piece of the puzzle which glues the starting line-up together.
football.london understands that Chelsea have held extensive talks yesterday with the Portuguese giants and tabled an offer which is thought to be worth in excess of the £105million release clause in Fernandez's contract. But, the fee would be spread out over instalments rather than being paid in full.
