Todd Boehly eyes 'dream Enzo Fernandez partner' at Chelsea amid Man United transfer fight

Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly could look to invest further into the playing squad this summer as the transfer window is on the horizon once again. The new regime have already added over half a billion pounds worth of talent in the past two markets, underlying their commitment to the philosophy of improving the side.

One of those additions in January was the late signing of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica, who has impressed at just 21 years old. The World Cup winner joined for a British record transfer fee of £106million on deadline day as the Blues needed to improve their midfield ranks.

Boehly and Behdad Eghbali told the Chelsea website on the addition: "In Enzo we are signing a World Cup-winner and one of the brightest talents in global football. We are excited to add him to Graham’s [Potter] squad and we are sure he will form an important part of our team going forward. Enzo has demonstrated his ability at the very highest levels so we’re looking forward to seeing what he will do in Chelsea blue!"
