Enzo Fernandez has revealed why he pushed to leave Benfica for Chelsea during the January transfer window.

He told Chelsea’s official website: “I also always dreamed about playing in the Premier League and Chelsea had shown their interest in me since even before the World Cup. The fact that they were targeting me was crucial.

“I came to a big club, one that has always fought for titles, 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.

“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.”
