Fernandez Becomes Key Player for Chelsea

Football

Midfielder Enzo Fernandez has emerged as a crucial figure in Chelsea's attack during the 2025/2026 season.

Enzo Fernandez has become a central player for Chelsea, demonstrating significant attacking contributions this season. The Argentine midfielder has scored seven goals and provided three assists in 22 Premier League matches during the 2025/2026 campaign. His total goal involvement stands at nine for the current season.

Fernandez has taken on a more advanced role, particularly in the absence of an injured Cole Palmer. Manager Enzo Maresca has highlighted Fernandez's ability to operate as an attacking midfielder when Chelsea are in possession, while also dropping back into a holding midfield position defensively. This versatility makes him a vital component of the team's structure.

His non-penalty expected goals output places him among the top 85 percent of Premier League players, underscoring his offensive impact. Fernandez's consistent performances have solidified his position as a key influence at Stamford Bridge.
