The left back has admitted in quotes relayed below, that he was watching Argentina at the World Cup for his former Brighton team mate Alexis Mac Allister. But it was Enzo who ended up catching his eye.

Cucurella: “And then he came to Chelsea! I told Enzo that I liked him in the World Cup. He's a good boy, I asked him when he’ll prepare an asado (BBQ) for me… He's very young, very talented with the ball, intelligent to recover the ball. He is a great midfielder.” 🗣️🇪🇸
