Chelsea could potentially break the Premier League's transfer record before the January transfer deadline with a move for Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
A priority target for Chelsea over the last few months, the Blues look to be stepping up their interest in Fernandez once again before the end of the transfer window. football.london understands that Chelsea are willing to pay the £106million release clause for the Argentine, and if successful in a move for the midfielder, he would become the Blues' eighth signing of the month.
football.london also understands that Everton have offered £40million fee plus £5million in add-ons for Conor Gallagher, which would open up a space in midfield for Fernandez. Since Todd Boehly's takeover of Chelsea, Graham Potter's side has spent over £450m on new signings, and the arrival of Fernandes would take that well over the half-a-billion mark.
