Chelsea signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica on transfer deadline day for a British transfer record fee of €121million.

Explaining why he chose to join Chelsea, Fernandez said: “I’m really happy with the opportunity that Chelsea has given me and I will give my everything to achieve the club’s goals.

“As a player and a person, I offer good energy, good vibes and I will give my all and support my team-mates to make them even better.

“Chelsea is a big club, it’s a club that is always fighting for trophies and has won the Champions League in recent years. Together, we will look to achieve everything the club wants and take it to the next level.

“Myself and my family are really happy to be here in London and to be able to enjoy the city. I think it’s a really beautiful city, so we will enjoy it and have a good time.

“I haven’t yet played against any of my new team-mates and I haven’t yet had the chance to chat with any of them but I do know who they are and I’m looking forward to working with them all!”
