BREAKING NEWS: Enzo Fernández has revealed that he did everything within his power to persuade his international teammate to choose Chelsea, but the player had already decided to join Arsenal. “I tried my best to convince him, but his mind was made up

Enzo Fernández has made a surprising revelation about a major transfer decision involving one of Argentina’s brightest football talents.

The Chelsea midfielder admitted that he made several attempts to persuade his compatriot to join him at Stamford Bridge, but his efforts proved unsuccessful. According to Enzo, the player had already made up his mind about where his future lies — and it wasn’t with Chelsea.

“I did everything I could to convince him to come to Chelsea, but his decision was final… he’s heading to Arsenal,” Enzo confessed, visibly surprised by the outcome. The midfielder expressed his disappointment, admitting it felt like a personal betrayal that his national teammate would choose to link up with a Premier League rival instead of joining forces with him in West London.

“What can I say? It hurts. Imagine your own teammate picking Arsenal over you — it stings,” Enzo added.

Though the identity of the player has not been officially revealed, reports describe him as one of Argentina’s most talented young stars.

Notably, he is also a World Cup winner, which only adds to the excitement surrounding his expected arrival at the Emirates. Arsenal fans have already started celebrating online and speculating about who the mystery signing could be.

This potential transfer once again highlights the sharp eye for talent and strategic planning of Arsenal’s technical director Edu Gaspar and manager Mikel Arteta. The pair have been praised in recent seasons for their ability to attract top international players and build a competitive, youthful squad capable of challenging for major honors.

If confirmed, this latest signing would further strengthen Arsenal’s credentials as serious Premier League title contenders for the upcoming season.

While the official announcement is still pending, multiple reliable sources suggest that the deal is all but done, with personal terms already agreed between the player and Arsenal. The final paperwork and medical tests are expected to be completed soon, after which the club is likely to make an official statement.

For now, excitement is mounting among Arsenal supporters, who are eager to welcome a new World Cup-winning star into their ranks. The move represents yet another bold statement of intent from the North London club as they continue to build a squad capable of competing at the highest level, both domestically and in Europe.
