Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested in signing River Plate midfielder Enzo Fernandez this summer, according to Jornal de Noticias. A product of the youth system at the Buenos Aires club, Fernandez has enjoyed a rapid rise to prominence in his homeland and is already an established member of the senior team.
Despite his tender years, the 21-year-old has already flourished in Argentina, having amassed 80 first-team outings across spells for his parent club and on loan at Defensa, directly contributing to 23 goals in the process.
Recently linked with a move to Manchester United, it now appears as though a switch to the Black Country could be on the cards for the cultured midfield ace… As per Jornal de Noticias, Wolves are believed to be ‘very close’ to signing Fernandez this summer.
It’s claimed that Benfica and AC Milan are also in contention but it’s the Old Gold who have now emerged as the frontrunners for the Argentina under-20 starlet.
