Pablo Zabaleta believes that compatriot Enzo Fernandez is destined to join one of the top clubs in European football, after announcing his arrival with a brilliant goal at the World Cup in Qatar.
Argentina found themselves struggling to break down a stubborn Mexico side before talisman Lionel Messi broke the deadlock with a trademark left-foot finish in the 64th minute. But the victory was sealed three minutes from time by the brilliance of substitute Fernandez, who showed off some lightning-quick footwork before cutting inside and curling the ball home from inside the penalty area.
Liverpool have already been linked with a move for the 21-year-old, who only joined Benfica from River Plate in the summer for what now looks like a bargain €18million including add-ons. The midfielder is believed to now have a hefty release clause built into his contract, but regardless of that former Argentine international Zabaleta is in no doubt that his fellow countryman is on course to join a football super-power.
