Potter announces he is really excited to work with headline-taking Chelsea signing

Chelsea boss Graham Potter has opened up and admitted that he is very excited to work with new signing Enzo Fernandez.

The 22-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge throughout January after impressing for Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar, but the Blues had to wait until the final day to get a deal done.

The London giants agreed to pay his massive £106 million asking price and bring him to the club on a massive eight-and-a-half year contract – which has stunned many fans that is for sure.

Whether the clearance for Fernandez arrives in time for the visit of Marco Silva’s side to Stamford Bridge remains to be seen, but nevertheless Potter has said he is excited to work with the midfielder.

‘We’re very pleased to have Enzo with us,’ Potter said at his pre-match press conference.

‘We’ll see whether he can be involved tomorrow, we’ve got to get through the paperwork and make sure he gets the relevant clearance and all of that stuff.

‘I’ve spoken with him today. My Spanish isn’t the best and his English isn’t great, so we needed to lean on the translator but we’ll get there.

‘He is an impressive young man and we’re looking forward to working with him.’

‘I’m the head coach so I don’t get too involved in the nitty gritty of deadline day,’ Potter added. ‘I am just totally focused on the next day’s training and preparing the team for Fulham.

‘I’ve been involved too long to know that there are some things you can’t control and I couldn’t do anything at that point to change things. I found out that we’d signed Enzo when it was all done and I’m very pleased, because he is a fantastic player.’
