Gianfranco Zola has admitted Enzo Fernandez reminds him of former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas. The 22-year-old has impressed since joining the Blues on January transfer deadline day for a record-breaking fee.
Fernandez was identified as a primary target in late December, football.london understands. Todd Boehly later held extensive talks with Benfica in order to wrap up a deal before the window slammed shut.
Chelsea will pay the Portuguese giants £106.7million in six instalments, the first of which is thought to be around £30million. Despite the pressure of being the most expensive player in Premier League history, the Argentina international has slotted into Graham Potter's side excellently - and he's already earned a comparison to Fabregas.
