Chelsea have never considered a summer exit for Enzo Fernandez as part of their plans according to Fabrizio Romano.
Fernandez put in a man of the match performance against Tottenham on Thursday night as he scored the only goal of the game in second half.
The goal, his fifth of the season in the league moved Chelsea back into the top four with the race for Champions League football set to go to the wire.
Fernandez key part of Chelsea future
Fernandez continued his impressive form from international duty against Tottenham and is currently enjoying the best season of his Chelsea career so far.
The Argentina international has really developed this season, and as well as his improvements on the pitch, he’s also developing into a leader and has captained the side on a number of occasions.
The Blues have two midfielders arriving this summer, which should help ease the load on Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, with Andrey Santos returning from his loan at Strasbourg, whilst Dario Essugo will arrive from Sporting Lisbon.
In the mean time Chelsea will hope Fernandez can keep this level of performance up as he’s set to play a key role with the Blues looking to win the Conference League and qualify for the Champions League.
