New Chelsea signing Enzo Fernandez may have to wear two different shirt numbers this campaign after joining the club from Benfica.
The Argentina international completed a £107million switch to Stamford Bridge on transfer deadline day after protracted negotiations between the Blues and Benfica. The deal is a Premier League transfer record, eclipsing the £100million Manchester City paid for Jack Grealish in 2021.
It fittingly concluded a manic transfer window at the west London club with eight first-team squad arrivals as Mykhaylo Mudryk arrived in a deal worth up to £87m from Shakhtar Donetsk and the club spent a further £100m+ to sign players including Benoit Badiashile and Noni Madueke.
