Enzo Fernandez reveals challenges in joining Chelsea

Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez has opened up about how he arrived at the club from Benfica.

Fernandez arrived in January as a World Cup winner, but was in for a rude awakening.

His team struggled to put together results and finished in the bottom half of the league table.

Speaking to B/R Football, Fernandez spoke about how his transfer came about.

He said: “It was a very intense week. The negotiations were very long, there were a lot of obstacles. Benfica didn’t want me to leave and I have to say it was a very stressful week that took a lot out of me psychologically.”

“But it all turned out the way you would want, and I was able to make that jump to play in the Premier League for a huge club like Chelsea,” he added.

“But yeah, it’s true that there were some days and hours where I couldn’t sleep, I was anxious not knowing what was happening but at the end of the day it was all worth it.”
