Chelsea have been told that they have had their “pants pulled down” with the British record transfer of Enzo Fernandez with some critics convinced he will not match rivals at Manchester United or Manchester City.
The Blues added to their huge January spend on deadline day with a deal for the World Cup winner. After extensive negotiations with Portuguese giants Benfica, Chelsea agreed to pay nearly £108m for the Argentinian midfielder. He joins after an impressive six months at the Estadio da Luz eyeing a similar impact in west London.
But not everyone has been left overly convinced by Chelsea’s decision to spend a massive fee on his services. Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has claimed that Fernandez is not worth the eye-watering outlay, whilst suggesting that the midfielder does not come close to the likes of Casemiro or Rodri at rival clubs.
