Enzo Fernandez moved from Benfica to Chelsea at the close of the January 2023 transfer window and signed a deal with the Blues that would last until 2031.

Shortly before that, he had won the World Cup with Argentina in Qatar. He had also gained attention with a number of standout performances for Benfica while in his first season in Europe.

Initially a defensive-minded player, Fernandez has evolved into a complete midfielder with the skills necessary for a playmaker and the speed to support attacks and go box-to-box.
