Chelsea has shown a lot of interest in Fernandez throughout the January transfer season, and Jacobs suggests more surprises could be in store before tonight's 11 p.m. deadline.
Enzo Fernandez, a transfer involving Chelsea
Chelsea's rumored pursuit of Benfica midfielder Fernandez might go down to the wire in a January transfer saga for the ages, with the Blues still keen on a deal.
David Ornstein of The Athletic reports that Chelsea is now more certain of landing a deal for the Argentine World Cup champion.
According to the source, Chelsea has "heightened optimism" that a deal can be done with Benfica before tonight's deadline.
It comes after weeks of rumors about Fernandez's potential move to west London, with Chelsea apparently having previously spoken with the Portuguese team.
However, the deal eventually broke down, with Argentine outlet TyC Sports claiming Benfica closed the door on Chelsea, after the pair were unable to agree on a payment structure.
Now, in the latest twist, it appears Fernandez to Chelsea could be back on, with suggestions the deal is closer than ever to being completed.
