Michael Owen believes Chelsea have a ‘seriously good player’ in Enzo Fernandez and expects the Argentine midfielder to justify his huge price-tag at Stamford Bridge.

Fernandez has enjoyed a promising start to his Blues career following a record-breaking £107m move from Benfica in January.

The 22-year-old had only spent half a season at the Portuguese outfit but caught the attention of a number of clubs as he helped Argentina win the World Cup in Qatar.

But former England striker Owen believes Chelsea have a ‘seriously good player’ on their hands and says he ‘oozed class’ during the goalless Premier League draw with Liverpool.

Chelsea’s underwhelming season continued on Tuesday night as the Blues were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Liverpool in their first game since Graham Potter’s sacking.
