Frank Lampard has showered Enzo Fernandez with the utmost praise ahead of Chelsea's clash against Brentford. The 22-year-old will be hoping he can continue his excellent form on Wednesday night when the Blues welcome Thomas Frank's side to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea managed to wrap up a deal with Benfica for the midfielder on January deadline day, agreeing to pay the Portuguese giants £106.7million in six instalments. Fernandez signed an eight-and-a-half-year contract, becoming the most expensive player in the west London club's history.
Despite the club's disappointing results lately, the Argentina international has settled in well to life in the Premier League. Speaking to the press ahead of Chelsea's meeting with Brentford, Lampard heaped great praise on Fernandez.
