Enzo Fernández has described the move to Manchester City as the realisation of a lifelong ambition, telling reporters in his first interview since completing the high-profile transfer from Chelsea that he had always dreamed of playing for a club of City's stature.

The Argentine midfielder's departure from Chelsea brings an end to a turbulent spell at Stamford Bridge following his record-breaking arrival from Benfica. Fernández now joins one of European football's most decorated clubs under manager Pep Guardiola.

His comments signal a fresh start for the 24-year-old, who is expected to bring creative energy and international pedigree to City's midfield after helping Argentina win the FIFA World Cup in 2022.
