Reports have surfaced linking Chelsea with a move for an unnamed Super Eagles star as they weigh up potential replacements for Enzo Fernandez in midfield. The Premier League side, known for their aggressive transfer strategy in recent seasons, appear to be planning ahead should Fernandez exit Stamford Bridge.
