Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has revealed why he pushed to leave Benfica for Chelsea in January.

Fernandez told UEFA: “One of the factors was that I liked the long-term project the club is creating.

“I also always dreamed about playing in the Premier League, and Chelsea had shown their interest in me even before the World Cup.

“I came to a big club, one that has always fought for trophies and that has won two Champions Leagues in a very short period of time.

“Now that I’m here, I’ve realised how big this club really is. And that’s what we wanted, what the club aimed for as a whole.

“This was an important factor when making this decision, apart from the fact that it’s in such a beautiful city like London. I thought it all through with my family. If it’s God’s will, everything will turn out fine, and I’ll strive to win anything and everything.”
