Marc Cucurella believes Chelsea possess a "great midfielder" in January signing Enzo Fernandez – but admits he did not know who the Argentine was prior to his impressive performances at the World Cup.
Fernandez arrived at Stamford Bridge from Benfica on deadline day of the winter transfer window. A club and Premier League-record fee of £106.7million was required to land the 22-year-old, who became an integral part of the Argentina side that clinched the World Cup trophy in Qatar.
There has been no period of adaptation needed for Fernandez at Chelsea. He has started every game since his January switch and produced a number of imposing displays. The midfielder's scooped assist for Kai Havertz's goal against Leicester City is his standout moment thus far.
