“He can’t wait” – Alejandro Garancho reveals who he spoke to before joining Chelsea | OneFootball

Alejandro Garnacho has revealed which player he spoke to before making the move from Manchester United to Chelsea.

Garancho was in the stands as Chelsea beat Fulham 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, after the Blues reached an agreement worth £40m with United earlier this week.

Chelsea officially announced Garnacho on Saturday evening, with the 21-year-old signing a seven year contract at Stamford Bridge.

The Argentina international will link up with Enzo Fernandez at Stamford Bridge, with fellow Argentinian Facundo Buonanotte also set to join the club.

Garnacho did his first interview with Chelsea’s in house media and revealed who he spoke to before signing for the club.

“I spoke with Enzo [Fernandez] because he’s my friend from the national team,” he told Chelsea’s website.

“He can’t wait to have me there and to work together.”

Garnacho will have to wait until after the international break to make his debut, which could come in the London derby against Brentford.

Chelsea face busy final days of the window

With Garnacho announced and Buonanotte set to join, the Blues still have a busy end to the window in store, with a number of players they need to move on.
