Enzo Fernandez explains how Chelsea can use Lionel Messi to ease pressure on Graham Potter

Enzo Fernandez has revealed how he can use Lionel Messi and Argentina's World Cup triumph at Chelsea following his record-breaking deadline day transfer. It has been a whirlwind few months for Fernandez with the 22-year-old playing a key role in his country becoming champions of the world and just five weeks later, the Blues spent £106million to acquire his services from Benfica.

Despite the signing of Fernandez, and six other players in January, Chelsea have so far been unable to overturn their fortunes with just one win being secured in 2023. Fernandez has shown glimpses of his quality, most notably coming in the clash against West Ham where he set up Joao Felix for his first goal in blue.

Chelsea boss Graham Potter saw pressure on his job increase after a shock defeat to Southampton, but Todd Boehly and co. remain confident he is the man to lead the rebuild.
