News about Enzo Francescoli

MATT BARLOW: Enzo Fernandez (pictured), the most expensive footballer in the United Kingdom, calm and focused, at ease with the price tag, and every inch the superstar signing, is tossed into the midst of the whirlwind. Both of his ears, a drastic haircut, and a gleaming smile. Intricate tattoo designs faded under his shirt's sleeves. He explains that the majority of the illustrations have a religious significance, which makes them appropriate as he addresses how to keep the faith in the midst of turbulent times. Fernandez says, 'We have trust in us.' 'Trust the players,' Trust the backroom workers. Trust the boss. This is my letter to the fans. We are here to help you. We are here to help you.' Fernandez is no one who portrays the whirlwind so well.

PETE JENSON: Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez has always been a star, even during his teenage years playing for his boyhood team in Argentina, as his team faked power cuts so he could play. If Fernandez had completed his game with River, La Recova's will have been tipped off, and if parents Raul and Marta led him across the city, someone would flick a switch to cancel the floodlights until their boy wonder had arrived.

Enzo Fernandez's first 12 months have been a whirlwind in the sense that nearly every young footballer could only dream about. Fernandez was still finding his feet on the elite Argentine side of River Plate at the start of 2022 and he was looking forward to embarking on what was already a promising career. He is now a Benfica actor who is on the verge of joining Chelsea in a £112 million transfer. It comes just weeks after winning the World Cup with Argentina, after being named the best young player by FIFA in Qatar.
