Enzo Fernandez believes he has yet to show his full potential in the Premier League with Chelsea, but is working hard to get back to the form which helped him become a World Cup winner.

It has been a little over 14 months since Enzo made his Premier League debut for Chelsea in a goalless draw against neighbours Fulham on 3 February 2023. Now in his first full season with the Blues, the midfielder has been a near ever-present for fellow Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino, with only Conor Gallagher and Axel Disasi making more league appearances for the club than Enzo in 2023-24.

However, the 23-year-old insists that the Chelsea supporters are yet to see his true ability, as he continues to work towards replicating the performances which saw him named by FIFA as the tournament’s best young player as he won the 2022 World Cup, shortly before coming to west London.

“I’m trying to get there, to the version of me that you saw at the World Cup,” Enzo the club’s official website, adding: “I want to feel like that Enzo, that was playing at the World Cup. I want to get back there.

“I feel good, getting better each day, but I still don’t feel like I’m at 100 per cent. I’m still adapting and still don’t feel entirely myself, but I’m trying to get there as quickly as possible and working hard every day in order to do so.

“It won’t be easy because the World Cup has been and gone, and I’m still growing as a player and developing my skills, but I’m looking for that Enzo. I want to feel completely myself again.”
