Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has hailed the Chelsea signing of the ‘very exciting’ Enzo Fernandez

After months and months of transfer speculation – Chelsea decided to break the British transfer record to bring the gifted midfielder to the Premier League for a staggering £106 million.

He has also been signed on a massive eight-and-a-half year contract – which many believe is a staggering amount of money for a player that has done pretty much nothing in the game.

The Argentina international showcased his ability throughout the tournament at the World Cup for the South American side, playing a starring role in his nation’s journey to their third world title.

He has impressed during his brief time at Stamford Bridge and now Hasselbaink – who was at Stamford Bridge for four years during his playing days – expects Fernandez to be a ‘big player and big star’ for Chelsea over the next few years.

‘Enzo Fernandez is very exciting,’ he told The Hindustan Times. ‘He’s a young player but he’s very aggressive and technically very good as well.

‘What I like, as an ex-striker, is he’s always looking to play forward. I believe he’s going to be a big player, a big star for Chelsea.’

The money that Chelsea have paid for Fernandez is crazy – there s no doubt about that guys – but he has looked impressive so far at the club.

We can see why Chelsea wanted him so badly – we can see what they saw in his performances and we can see why he has been signed on a massive contract.

But we are still not so sure that he is worth the money that has been paid.
