Enzo Fernandez is the Premier League’s most expensive signing.
The Argentine midfielder left Benfica and joined Chelsea during the January transfer window for an eye-watering £107m (TalkSPORT).
Arriving in England’s top-flight off the back of a remarkable World Cup win with Argentina, Fernandez, 22, is expected to become one of the country’s most effective central midfielders.
Carrying such a high price tag is always a challenge though, and according to the player himself, he is still adapting to the fast and physical pace of the Premier League.
“It’s a very tough league,” the 22-year-old told Chelsea FC.
“I am coming from the Portuguese League where sometimes you play more with the ball. Here the game is faster and more physical so I am adapting step by step.”
Even though fans have quickly taken to the South American, they will probably be expecting a lot more from him between now and the end of the season.
Given their domestic form, the Blues’ season has almost been a complete write-off. However, still in the Champions League and set to play defending champions Real Madrid in the quarter-finals next week, the Londoners still have something to aim for, and if they’re to be successful, Fernandez will undoubtedly need to be at his very best.
