Stunning £50M claim after Chelsea make astonishing transfer signing

Gabby Agbonlahor has sent a clear transfer message to Chelsea about the January signing on Enzo Fernandez

Graham Potter’s side moved to add Fernandez, Mykhalo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashille, Noni Maduke, Malo Gusto, Andrey Santos, David Datro Fofana, and Joao Felix this month.

Fernandez was the biggest signing of the transfer window for the Blues – as they broke the British transfer record to sign the young man after he had a very impressive World Cup in Qatar.

He has also signed a massive contract that will keep him at Stamford Bridge for the next eight years – but despite all the hype surrounding his move to Chelsea – Agbonlahor has claimed that the Blues board have massively overpaid for the man Agbonlahor told Football Insider: “They’ve massively overpaid.

“He signed for Benfica last summer for £10m. It’s a ridiculous figure that Chelsea have paid.

“He’s a player who definitely has quality, but they’ve probably paid double of what his actual value is. He’s worth about £50m.

“It just shows where Chelsea are at right now. Money doesn’t seem to be an issue for them.”

Chelsea sit 10th in the Premier League – ten points adrift of the Champions League places and needed to do something in the January window to get their season back on track.

They signed so many players that are for the future – but the craziest deal they ever done was sign Fernandez.

We agree with Gabby – he is a £50 million player – he is not worth £100 million just yet.

He may well become a world class midfielder – but this is a move that could ruin him because he now has to live upto the expectations and hype that comes with being such an expensive signing.

Add that to the fact he is playing for one of the biggest clubs in the game – fans will be keeping their fingers crossed.
