Premier League club, Chelsea has finally completed signing Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez for a British record fee of £107m
from Benfica, making him the most expensive player in Premier League history.

The deal for the Argentine surpasses the £100m Manchester City paid for Jack Grealish from Aston Villa 18 months ago.

The Argentina midfielder, Enzo Fernandez agreed with the personal terms and has signed an eight-and-a-half-year deal with Chelsea.
The newly signed contract will keep him at the club until the summer of 2031.

With his signing, Chelsea's transfer spending in the January window alone has already surpassed £300m.

Enzo emerged on the global scene after his breakthrough performance during Argentina's World Cup-winning campaign in Qatar where he not only broke into the starting XI in every game, but he also won the Young Player award.

The 22-year-old even scored in the clash against Mexico when Argentina really needed a win following a shocking loss at the hands
of Saudi Arabia in their World Cup opener.

For Benfica, the midfielder had contributed 11 goals, scoring four and assisting seven in 29 appearances. He was even named
the best midfielder in Portugal's top flight by Liga BWIN head coaches in August, October, and November.
