Former Barcelona and Manchester City striker, Sergio Aguero, has predicted Benfica’s Enzo Fernandez to complete a move to the Premier League amid interest from Chelsea.
Fernandez is said to be pushing to join Chelsea before the January transfer window closes on Tuesday night.
Chelsea have been locked in negotiations with Benfica for the past few weeks but have so far been unable to agree a deal for Argentina’s 2022 FIFA World Cup winner.
However, Aguero is backing Fernandez to make a late switch to the Premier League or the Spanish La Liga, adding that the 22-year-old can play in the top leagues.
“Enzo has proven he can play in the top leagues of the world,” Aguero told Stake.com.
“From my understanding, it will be a short time until he arrives either to the Premier League or La Liga. Maybe we will see Enzo Fernandez in the Premier League soon. The World Cup’s best young player award is nothing to scoff at.
Aguero further stated: “There are many other players from Argentina that will show their worth soon. Brighton signing Buonanotte, Maximo Perrone arriving [at] my dear Manchester City. There is a new generation that is adding a lot to the Premier League and in numbers not seen before.”
