Despite being only 21 the French international Benoit Badiashile has featured for the France national team and his former team Monaco in both the Champions league and the Europa league .

The talented left-footed center back who spent much of his early career at S.C Malesherbes where he played since he was 8 years old.

Benoit then joined Monaco at the age of 15 years because of his extraordinary talent.

At age 15 he couldn’t break through the senior team but showcased his talent in Monaco’s team ‘B’ as he was one of the best performers.

Badiashile was handed his debut in the senior team by one of football’s greatest players Thiery Henry and played against Thiago Silva who was playing for PSG and now his team mate.

Spending five seasons in Ligue 1 and making 135 league appearances for Monaco, he became a player to monitor.

Clubs like P.S.G, Barcelona, Dortmund and many more wanted his signature to boost their defense

Chelsea F.C with the injuries of Reece James, Ben Chilwell and Wesley Fofana had to act fast and capture his signature.

Benoit was very happy after signing for Chelsea and this was what he said ” I’m very happy to be here at Chelsea, I can’t wait to see the fans and start playing in the best league in the world”.

” We’re delighted to welcome Benoit to Chelsea. He’s an excellent young player who has quickly established a strong reputation for himself and has a huge amount of experience for his young age. We are sure he will form an important part of our team in the years ahead”.

Badiashile has put pen to paper on a seven and a half year deal at a reported fee of €37 million.

A world cup winner in 2022, playing alongside Lionel Messi who is regarded by his fans as the ‘goat’ of football is said to be the missing piece of Chelsea’s new midfield.

The blues, currently undergoing a rebuild by Graham Potter following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel last year, requires the Argentine to shore up their midfield which appears to lack a ball winner.

Chelsea sees Enzo as the perfect replacement for Ngolo Kante who has been struggling to stay fit in recent times

Enzo Jeremías Fernández the midfielder who was scouted by PSG, Real Madrid and Liverpool is said to be the engine of the new midfield that Chelsea want to build under Graham Potter who most Chelsea fans see to be not trustworthy.

Scouted during his academy days at River Plate, and making 1,625 minutes for the senior team in only 20 appearances which was remarkable at his age. The father of a beautiful daughter named Olivia then moved to Portugal to play for one of their giants S.L. BENFICA.

Also scouted by Chelsea whiles in Argentina before signing for S.L. BENFICA and winning the world cup and also the Best Young Player of the world cup compelled Chelsea to spend a huge sum on the wonderkid. His vision, passing accuracy and intelligence is why Chelsea is cashing big money on him because he is seen as the one to build the midfield on.

Enzo Fernández who was keen on moving to the West London side after listening to the new project of the Todd Boehly led consortium who recently acquired Chelsea F.C saw it to be the next destination for him and his family. Chelsea in his mind, he was absent at S.L BENFICA’S training on 02 January 2023 to force a move which he was punished for.

Speaking to the president of S.L BENFICA Rui Costa and the manager Roger Schimidt and explaining to them that he wants to leave for Chelsea aided in Chelsea acquiring his signature. The wonderkid born in San Martin, Argentina would love to stay in London and play for the Blue side of London called Chelsea Football Club.

The new technical director of football Christopher Vivell has also been instrumental for the capturing of the signature of the talented midfielder born on 17th January 2001.
