Chelsea are continuing their efforts to sign Enzo Fernandez before tonight's 11pm deadline. The Benfica star continues to be heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as Graham Potter looks to bolster his midfield.
The World Cup winner is the subject of a £105million offer from the Blues as Todd Boehly throws everything at securing his services. Fernandez has been excluded from Benfica's Liga NOS fixture at Arouca this evening, allowing both parties to come to an agreement.
Despite awaiting a decision from Rui Costa in Portugal, football.london understands there remains confidence that a deal can be concluded. Should Chelsea get their man, Fernandez will become the club's seventh signing of the January transfer window following the arrivals of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, Noni Madueke, Benoit Badiashile, Andrey Santos and David Datro Fofana.
