Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea have reached an agreement for the signing of Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez.

The Fernandez saga has been ongoing for weeks now as Chelsea look to reinforce their midfield. N’Golo Kante is out of contract in the summer and Jorginho has left the club for Arsenal, leaving Chelsea short in midfield.

Fernandez’s performances in the World Cup with Argentina undoubtedly made Chelsea push extremely hard for this signing with the young midfielder playing a pivotal role in helping his country lift the trophy.

Now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea have reached an agreement with Benfica for the signing of Fernandez.
