Chelsea reportedly contacted with Enzo Fernandez's agent and expressed interest in bringing the Argentine to the Premier League in January. The 21-year-old 'Best Young Player' of the FIFA World Cup is apparently being chased away from Benfica by Manchester United, Liverpool, and Real Madrid.
However, Chelsea appear to have joined the chasing pack as Simon Phillips reports that the Blues have held talks with the player's intermediaries.
They have started the groundwork in pursuing the Argentine and have officially registered their interest in signing him.
Fernandez has been a revelation since arriving at the Estadio da Luz from River Plate this past summer for just €12 million.
He has made 24 appearances across competitions, scoring three goals and providing five assists.
The tenacious midfielder's performances for Roger Schmidt's side earned him a call-up to the Argentina squad for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
He excelled in the middle of the park for La Albiceleste, scoring one goal and providing an assist in seven appearances.
