Enzo Fernandez has called Lionel Messi the "player I look up to" during one of his first interviews as Britain's most expensive footballer.
Fernandez, 22, joined Chelsea in a record £106.7million deal from Benfica last month after winning the World Cup with Argentina in December. The emerging midfielder was handed the Young Player Award for his outstanding performances in Qatar.
Messi, 35, was Argentina's captain at the World Cup and won the competition's Golden Ball for the second time in his illustrious career for scoring seven goals and providing three assists. Fernandez has hailed the impact Messi has had on his blossoming career.
