    Chelsea have signed Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for a British-record £106.8m

    Premier League side Chelsea have signed Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for a British-record £106.8m. The deal has now surpassed the £100m Manchester City paid for Jack Grealish from Aston Villa 18 months ago. The 22-year-old, who joined Benfica last summer for around £10m, has signed an eight-and-a-half-year deal, until the summer of 2031. Here are further details.

    Chelsea keep splashing the money

    The 22-year-old World Cup winner's arrival takes Chelsea's January spending to somewhere about £288m, according to transfer website Transfermarkt. Chelsea had earlier shelled out a hefty sum of £292m in the summer which is a record for a British club in the summer window. And now the January outlay takes their total spend under new American owner Todd Boehly to £580m.
