Chelsea are prepared to trigger the £105million release clause of Benfica's rising talent Enzo Fernandez, according to reports.

Fernandez has emerged as one of football's most promising talents after his impressive cameos for Argentina saw him win the Young Player of the Tournament award at the World Cup.

And - with a number of Premier League clubs interested - it appears the Blues have taken the first steps in their attempts to sign Fernandez by triggering the huge buyout clause in his contract with the Portuguese giants.
