Chelsea have signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for a British-record €121 million.

The 22-year-old was named Best Young Player of the World Cup for his displays during Argentina's successful campaign in Qatar.

The £106.8 million fee eclipses the previous record of £100 million that Manchester City paid Aston Villa for Jack Grealish in 2021.

Fernandez only joined the Portuguese giants in July last year, for a reported fee of around £10 million, and penned down an eight-and-half-year deal that will run until 2031 at Stamford Bridge.
