Further to this, sources have told Si & Dan Talk Chelsea that new technical director Christopher Vivell has been personally working on the deal himself, trying to work out how to get the player to Stamford Bridge in next months window.
It would be a massive statement signing from the new owners, who want to revamp the midfield over the next couple of windows to the wishes of manager Graham Potter.
“Graham Potter has made it clear to the board it is a midfield revamp that needs to be top of the agenda.
I’m told it is Christopher Vivell himself personally working on the Enzo deal right now.
