Enzo Fernandez sends Todd Boehly subtle £125m transfer wish as Chelsea 'connection' revealed

Enzo Fernandez has lifted the lid on adjusting to life in London following his move to Chelsea in January. The 22-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge after winning the 'best young player' award at the World Cup in Qatar.

The Blues managed to wrap up a deal with Benfica on deadline day, agreeing to pay the Portuguese giants £106.7million in six instalments. Fernandez signed an eight-and-a-half-year contract as he became the most expensive player in the west London club's history.

Despite Chelsea's misfortunes of late, the Argentina international has hit the ground running in the Premier League. In an interview with UEFA, Fernandez has attributed his smooth transition to the friendships he's found with Kai Havertz and Joao Felix – but that's not to say he's adapted to the infamous UK weather conditions yet.
