A top and reliable local source has confirmed the major Chelsea transfer news that came out as a bombshell yesterday.
Well actually, it came out right after the Chelsea vs Arsenal game on Wednesday night, but we reported it first thing on Thursday on this site.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea hold second round of talks to sign 6ft 4in centre back!
The new was around interest in Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez. PSG are the latest club to be linked with him, and the news is seemingly legit.
Nobody is reporting this to be something for the January transfer window, with any move expected to come in the summer.
Chelsea have always expected to be mainly quiet in the January winter window, although there is now a change of tune in that story, with a new centre back apparently on the horizon this month now.

It looks like the Argentine international will have a big decision to make in the summer, as will Chelsea. With the interest and noise around him starting to heat up ahead of a potential move.
Local Argentine source Uriel Lugt, who is hugely reliable around football news involving Argentina players, has posted on his X account.
He says that PSG have made informal contact with the entourage of Enzo Fernandez. They have him firmly in their sights for next season, however the signing won’t be easy, due to his contract until 2032.
I think he goes
I have a feeling that he actually may leave. I don’t know why, I just think this summer he will go. I think he will ask to go, and I think Chelsea would sell him as a result, as long as it was for the right fee.
