Chelsea target Enzo Fernandez is set to miss Benfica's game against Arouca tonight as the Blues look to seal a £105million deal for the midfielder - according to reports - but the player is now said to be closer to staying put.

Argentina's World Cup hero has been chased by the west London outfit for most of the January transfer window, with the move for the midfielder becoming topsy-turvy after being called off and then put back on track.

Chelsea believe a deal for the 22-year-old can be done today and fans have claimed to have spotted a private jet land in Lisbon to conclude the transfer.
