According to the player's father, Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is eager to work with Mauricio Pochettino and will request that the manager play him higher up the field.
Enzo Fernandez's father has stated that his son wants to play higher up the field for Chelsea in the upcoming season.
Fernandez, a central midfielder, just made the switch from River Plate to Europe last summer, joining Benfica after nearly joining Wolves.
The top teams on the continent were on high alert after his first-half efforts, and his outstanding exploits during Argentina's 2022 FIFA World Cup victory cemented his status as one of the game's top midfield talents.
On the final day of the January transfer window, Chelsea agreed to pay an initial £106.8 million to buy the 22-year-old. Although he has showed flashes of his tremendous talent, Fernandez has found it difficult to regularly tie together a run of strong performances thus far in his English career.
Graham Potter's dismissal by the Blues in April was followed by Bruno Saltor taking over for one game before Frank Lampard took over as interim manager until the end of the season, adding to an already turbulent year that saw Chelsea finish 12th in the Premier League standings.
On July 1, Mauricio Pochettino will take over as the team's head coach. Fernandez's father discussed his son's renewed excitement for the 2023–24 season with The Chelsea Spot.
Enzo is at ease, content, and settling in to London, according to Raul Fernandez.
He was pleased Pochettino had arrived. coming season? My son aspires to be the best.
"I believe [Enzo will play more forward]." He was going to request that Pochettino play more advanced.
According to 90min, Chelsea and Moises Caicedo are nearing a personal agreement, but they and Brighton are still working out the financial details. If Caicedo shows up, Fernandez might be given permission to play with him while moving forward on his own.
The midfield for the Blues, though, might look very different next year. While Mason Mount is coveted by Manchester United, Mateo Kovacic is in talks with Manchester City, and N'Golo Kante is expected to sign with Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad.
