Chelsea are linked to many strikers as the January transfer window opens soon. The Blues’ desperately wanted a striker in the summer but failed to sign someone due to financial constraints. They nearly signed Samu Omorodion but pulled out in the end. The Blues were also desperate to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. However, a deal never materialized due to high wage demands.
The Blues’ were also linked to Colombian striker Jhon Duran. The Aston Villa forward has been phenomenal this season and has been the hero for the Premier league side on several occasions. Often dubbed as the “Super-sub” he continues to grow under Unai Emery. Chelsea who pulled off from signing him due to his huge transfer fee, are interested in him yet again.
The Colombian also reportedly was open to joining Chelsea last summer. Agreeing on personal terms won’t be a problem for the Blues’. However, will Villa agree to sell their star player so easily? This is the biggest doubt for the Chelsea supporters. Unai Emery’s side are also on course of qualifying for the Champions league quarter finals. Selling him in the January window would be a terrible move.
Chelsea are finally enjoying the best version of Enzo Fernandez
Enzo Fernandez joined Chelsea from Benfica for a record Premier league transfer fee. Questions were raised due to the massive price tag which gave huge pressure for the young man. He struggled to get going in the Premier league and faced a lot of criticism. However, he was playing good football for Argentina which triggered the Chelsea fans even more.
Before the start of this season, the Argentine was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. He was a part of a racial controversy which created a dispute within the team. However, the manager trusted him and gave him the captain’s armband this season. This had a huge impact on his confidence and we can see the results now.
He has been involved in Chelsea’s goals in the last three games. He has scored two goals and provided 6 assists already in the season. The Argentine also has a new celebration now, the “Call me” celebration which is his signature now. As per Fotmob, he has a high rating of 7.10 this season. Chelsea fans are finally enjoying the finest version of Enzo Fernandez.
The young lad who won the “best young player” award at the World Cup is finally showing his class at the highest level. He has brushed aside all the negativity and is focusing on improving his game further.
“Best player on the pitch”: Fans impressed
Chelsea fans are left impressed by the performance from Enzo Fernandez. The 23-year old has become the heart of Chelsea’s midfield now. His stunning performance against Southampton increased his streak of being involved in a goal. This is one of the best periods he has endured in the Chelsea shirt.
I feel him being appointed as the captain of the club has given a massive boost in his confidence. Complete credit to the manager for being able to bring out the best from him. As Chelsea thrashed Southampton in the Premier league, he pulled the strings in the middle of the park.
Since Enzo Fernandez came back into the lineup, we’ve scored 10 goals in 3 games. Before he was taken out, we scored 15 goals in 5 games.

He completed the most passes in the game with the highest accuracy. The Premier league is finally getting to see the World Cup version of Enzo Fernandez. His footwork and his ability to resist pressure from the opposition is leaving his manager in awe.
This winter phase will be one of the key periods for Chelsea to close the gap on Liverpool. They will be looking to contest for the league this season. It depends whether the team can continue this form for long. They play Tottenham next in the London Derby away from home.
