The strong recent performances of Enzo Fernandez have seen him rewarded with a nomination for the Premier League player of the month award for January.
Fernandez has enjoyed a very successful time since Liam Rosenior took over as the manager of the club, featuring in every game he has been in charge of.
January has seen three goals and an assist for the World Cup winner, who has a real chance of winning the award despite competition from other top stars.

Shumaira Mheuka and Reggie Walsh nominated for Premier League 2 Player of the Month award
It has been a particularly impressive period for both Shumaira Mheuka and Reggie Walsh, two players who already have experience with the first team squad.
Their good form has been rewarded, with the Premier League confirming both have been nominated to win the Player of the Month award.
It has recently been reported that Reece James has been working closely with Mheuka, who already has his Premier League debut under his belt during Enzo Maresca’s time in charge.
With Chelsea’s bloated fixture list showing no signs of slowing up, the opportunity for Liam Rosenior to give them another opportunity could crop up.

Mheuka made more sporadic appearances in the Conference League last season, and has been firing home hat-tricks for fun for the Under 21s this season.
The Chelsea youngsters are in safe hands when it comes to a pathway to the first team squad due to who is currently in charge of the club.
Rosenior has a track record with working with young players from his time in Strasbourg, and it seems to be a part of his job he really enjoys.
