Obviously, we\u2019re paying a pretty penny or two \u2014 over \u00a310m more than for Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez three year ago \u2014 but hopefully he will be worth it.

He would leave a few years later looking for first-team opportunities, going to Middlesbrough and then to Aston Villa, where he would establish himself, truly have his breakthrough, and also become an England international. He set up England\u2019s only goal in the semifinal defeat to Argentina earlier this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The 2025 Premier League Young Player of the Year is now headed to Stamford Bridge.
