The record-signing of Chelsea, Enzo Fernandez, has expressed optimism on the future of the club.
Fernandez, who joined Chelsea from Benfica on January 31, 2023, for a fee of €121 million, expressed his assertion over the future of the struggling Blues in a presser with Sky Sports.
Enzo Fernandez said players of the Stamford Bridge club will do everything needed to get the West London side back to their best days.
He also drummed it into the ears of many that he doesn’t know when the club are going to get back to their glory days, but they “will do it”.
The Argentine midfielder said: “I think Chelsea are going to be one of the best PL teams.
“I don’t know when, not now… but we will do it, we’ll work hard for this club and we will achieve it.”
Fernandez has produced “Okay” performances since he joined the Blues in January 2023.
He has been a mainstay in the midfield of Chelsea, making 34 appearances for the club, scoring 1 goal, and providing 2 assists across all competitions.
Enzo Fernandez was a key member of the 2022 Argentina squad that achieved World Cup glory in Qatar.
The 22-year-old definitely also has a trophy-winning mentality, which has been seen over time, as he has won 2 league titles; 1 Primeira Liga and 1 Argentine Primera División.
The Argentine midfielder has also won several cup titles, including; Copa Sudamericana, Recopa Sudamericana, and Trofeo de Campeones.
Moises Caicedo agrees with the stance of Enzo Fernandez on Chelsea
Meanwhile, Moises Caicedo is in agreement with the stance of Enzo Fernandez and made his assertions known confidently.
Caicedo joined Chelsea from Brighton and Hove Albion on August 14, 2023, for an astronomical fee of €116 million.
Moises Caicedo has shown flashes of brilliance in his early days with the Blues, amassing 11 appearances, scoring no goal, and providing no assist.
Airing his thoughts on the statements made by teammate Fernandez, the Ecuadorian said:
“I agree with Enzo, 100%. For sure it will take time but then trust me, trust us… those who don’t believe in us will end up doing so”.
Moises Caicedo was magnificent at Brighton and that saw him being courted by some of the big clubs in Europe, including; Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool.
The 22-year-old was involved in one of the biggest plot twists of the transfer market, which saw him almost join Liverpool ahead of Chelsea.
However, Chelsea zoomed into action immediately, after the player indicated his love for the club.
Todd Boehly’s side have prioritized the signing of prominent youngsters in football, and that has seen them acquire notable names like Enzo Fernandez, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku, Wesley Fofana, and Moises Caicedo.
The Blues sit 11th on the Premier League table, with 12 points from 10 league matches, following their horrible start to the season.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side can be confident of their position and fortunes changing, as they have picked up 4 victories from their last 6 matches across all competitions, with one draw and one defeat.
