How Fernandez has become key player for Chelsea

Related Topics: Enzo Fernández, Chelsea, Cole Palmer

Enzo Fernandez has established himself as one of, if not the, most important players in Chelsea's attack.

No Chelsea player scored more goals, registered more assists or created more chances than Fernandez in 2025 - not even Cole Palmer, who has struggled with recurring groin issues.

Heading into 2026, Fernandez became the first Chelsea player to reach 10 goals for the season when he opened the scoring from the penalty spot in a 3-2 win away at Napoli. It was a goal which helped his side progress to the last 16 of the Champions League.
