Frank Lampard believes that Chelsea can still get more out of Enzo Fernandez should he be used in a more advanced position as the Blues look to bounce back from a disappointing season and back into contention in 2023/24. The west London side have seen a great deal of investment in the side over the last 12 months but the Blues caretaker boss believes a Chelsea 'core might have to be developed', as new, younger stars find their feet.
Fernandez can undoubtedly be seen as someone who has settled into Stamford Bridge life quickly amid difficult circumstances. Having arrived for a £106.7million, the World Cup-winner has started every match for the Blues and being a highlight of a disappointing season.
Lampard has spoken a lot in recent weeks about players understanding what is to play for Chelsea. He believes the 22-year-old gets it entirely.
