LEICESTER, England (Reuters) - Enzo Fernandez will only keep improving as he continues to adapt to the Premier League, Chelsea manager Graham Potter said after the midfielder put in an assured performance in a 3-1 win at Leicester City on Saturday.
Fernandez, who joined Chelsea for a British record fee of more than $130 million, has struggled at times since his move - most notably when he was left in the dust by goalscorer Karim Adeyemi in Borussia Dortmund's 1-0 Champions League win over Chelsea last month.
"But you can see his quality, he gets the ball, he can pass forward. He's progressive with his mentality, gets the team moving, and then he gives everything so it's a nice combination to have." "He wants to help the team wants to work with the team," Potter said."So delighted for him that he could assist and help us win."
