Enzo Fernandez has attributed his meteoric rise to superstardom to the advice and support of Hernan Crespo. The 22-year-old joined Chelsea from Benfica in January after impressing for Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar.
Desperate to sign the midfielder, higher-ups at the London club held extensive talks with the Portuguese giants on deadline day. The Blues eventually agreed to pay Benfica £106.7million in six instalments, making him the most expensive player in Premier League history.
Despite his eye-watering price tag, Fernandez has hit the ground running at Chelsea and he's hoping to continue his impressive form in the Champions League. Frank Lampard's side will welcome Real Madrid to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening as the Blues look to turnaround a two-goal deficit.
