Fernandez scored 10 goals and registered six assists in 26 appearances for River in league and cup, cementing himself as the box-to-box midfielder he had always aspired to be. He had his third winners’ medal in the same calendar year. Fernandez and the Hawks’ star burned brightest in the Copa Sudamericana, South America’s equivalent of the Europa League. As his fitness and flexibility improved, so did his recovery skills in the middle of the park, suiting Defensa y Justicia’s pressing style. Always a central midfielder, Fernandez progressed through River’s fabled academy system and was called up to the reserve squad early in 2019.

Enzo Fernandez: Chelsea's record-breaking desire for Argentina ... (Sky Sports)

Why have Chelsea broken the British transfer record by signing Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for more than £105m?; the Argentine deep-lying playmaker has ...

He has been one of the league's top tacklers, and only 10 players across the division have won the ball back more in the middle third despite his considerable output further up the pitch. Fernandez has already taken responsibility without the ball at Benfica, slotting into an anchorman role regularly as required. Chelsea's January-long pursuit of Enzo Fernandez has ended with a fee which breaks the British transfer record. The Blues have, among other issues, a major goalscoring problem. The comparison was made by Fernandez's old youth coach Gabriel Rodriguez. The backdrop of Todd Boehly's seemingly endless month of spending does add some context.

Enzo Fernandez starts, Kante dilemma: Best Chelsea XI after dream ... (Football.London)

Graham Potter is now armed with plenty of top players as Chelsea look to secure a place in the Premier League top-four.

But, Chelsea have an issue in the striker department. He's been on the sidelines ever since as he continues to recover. Kepa Arrizabalaga remains to be the west Londoners' strongest option between the sticks for now. A 4-2-3-1 allows Potter to field as many of the Blues' exciting forward players as possible, within reason, while also operating a strong defensive structure. Chelsea enjoyed a hectic end to the January transfer window after signing Enzo Fernandez in the eleventh hour on deadline day. Kante is yet to play under Potter after picking up a hamstring injury against Tottenham in August.
