Chelsea's new £105million signing Enzo Fernandez has always been in demand — so much so that his local boys’ club in Argentina used to fake power cuts to delay kick-off so he could turn out for them.
Now the most expensive signing in Premier League history, Fernandez started out at Club La Recova in Buenos Aires. When River Plate spotted him aged five, he began to play for both teams.
This was tricky when the sides had matches on the same night, but, as La Recova’s club president Sergio Coceres told Argentinian TV last month, a plan was hatched to ensure he never missed a match.
