Enzo Fernandez: What did Todd Boehly say after watching Chelsea signing? | OneFootball

Enzo Fernandez is a Chelsea player.

After a month of rumours surrounding the 2022 World Cup winner, the Blues got the deal over the line at the 11th hour.

Fernandez's signing was finally agreed right at the end of deadline day and he's now the most expensive player in Premier League history.

The price tag for the 22-year-old stands at £106 million, which also makes him the sixth-costliest footballer of all-time.

It's a transfer which has sent shockwaves through football and a clear sign that new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly means serious business.
