The London club confirmed the signing of Argentina's youngster, Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for a record transfer fee of £105 million. The number 5 jersey was previously worn by Jorginho who has joined Arsenal Football Club.

Fernandez is the eighth player that Chelsea has signed in this transfer window, this takes their spending to £290 million. The 22-year-old is expected to fill in the boots that was left by Jorginho who made a move to Arsenal Football Club.
