Liverpool have reportedly secured a ‘pre-contract agreement’ with Benfica midfielder and Argentina international star Enzo Fernandez.
Fernandez has caught the eye at the World Cup, where he scored a brilliant goal in Argentina’s 2-0 win over Mexico during the group stage. The 21-year-old midfielder curled into the top corner late on to ensure Argentina won a match they desparately needed to.
The holding midfielder did not feature from the start in either of his nation’s opening two World Cup games but has been included in the line-ups for each of the next three matches, including the quarter-final victory over Netherlands.
