Sky Journalist Kaveh Solhekhol has claimed that Chelsea have a private jet ready to fly Enzo Fernandez to London if the clubs agree a deal tonight.
The potential British transfer record is going down to the wire, with it still yet to get the green light from Benfica president Rui Costa.
There have been no issues on the personal terms with the Argentinian, with him very keen to join the Blues since the start of January.
The club have been busy in the market for midfielders in the last week or so, as they look to put the final touches on a brilliant window.
After seeing a bid rejected for wantaway Moises Caicedo, they turned their attentions back to the World Cup young player of the tournament.

“The player is doing what he can to make this deal happen. Benfica are prepared for this to be done in the last minute.”
