Chelsea have signed Enzo Fernandez for a British record £107million after agreeing a deal with Benfica late on deadline day.
The eye-watering swoop for Chelsea's No 1 January target headed into the last minutes of the transfer window as both clubs spent Tuesday locked in talks over the move for the Argentina international.
At one point, it looked as though Chelsea would fail to get the deal for 22-year-old over the line - but both parties finally made a breakthrough just minutes before the 11pm deadline. Fernandez will sign an eight-and-a-half year deal through to June 2031.
