Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez has claimed he is already a massive fan of new teammate Moises Caicedo.
He told ESPN that he plans to swap shirts with his club mate after their two countries face each other during the international break.
Many supporters at Chelsea were praying the club spent big to try and bring in the best possible partner for Fernandez going forward.

The World Cup winner has been sensational up to now, however last season in particular it became clear that he didn’t really have a strong partner to play with.
It looked as if it was going to be one of Caicedo or Romeo Lavia joining the club, with both the Blues and Liverpool in fierce negotiations with both players.
Fernandez praises Caicedo
However, it was Chelsea that ended up with both players, leaving the Reds to go back into the market late on.
In the three games Caicedo has played in the league, he has had unfortunate moments that have been punished to go alongside assured performances throughout the majority.

Fernandez though has been full of praise for his new teammate, having only met him a few weeks’ ago.
He said: “Moises is a great person, he has now arrived at Chelsea, we have talked a little about everything, not specifically about the game but about changing the shirt [when Argentina face Ecuador].”
Everyone at the club will be hoping that the two form quite the partnership, with Lavia also waiting in the wings to feature.
