A Chelsea fan has theorised that the club have flown to Portugal to complete the transfer of Enzo Fernandez in the same private jet which was used to sign Joao Felix, Noni Madueke and Malo Gusto.
The Benfica star has continued to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as Graham Potter looks to bolster his midfield on deadline day. football.london understands that signing Fernandez remains the Blues' priority, with Todd Boehly said to have held extensive talks with the Portuguese giants.
It's believed that Chelsea submitted a bid in excess of the £105million release clause in the 22-year-old's contract. But, unsurprisingly, the west Londoners have proposed that the fee would be spread out over instalments rather than being paid in full.

The Argentina international is eager to join and it's understood he's informed Benfica of his intent to leave. football.london understands there is confidence that an agreement will be reached despite only a few hours left of the window.
And, it looks like every minute will count up until the deadline at 11pm. While it remains to be seen that an agreement has been reached, a Blues supporter has noticed a pattern occurring which could prove to be a lucky charm.
On Twitter, @C345Sam pointed out that a plane departed from Farnborough Airport for Lisbon on Monday evening. The private airport is just over a 20 mile drive from Cobham training ground.
Then in the replies, @stillthebobb noticed that the same plane flew to Madrid the day before Chelsea announced the signing on Joao Felix on loan. It also flew to Amsterdam the day before Noni Madueke was announced and back from Geneva, somewhat near Lyon, two days before Malo Gusto was unveiled.
Twitter user @RoryBenji then got even more excited, saying: "Those saying the numbers are different euw is the name of the jet the numbers are different flight numbers. The jet was also the same jet that Malo Gusto posted on his insta. A private jet has been sent to pick Enzo Fernandez he’s coming to Chelsea!"
It remains to be confirmed whether the plane in question is in any way linked to Chelsea's previous business in the January transfer window. But, as Blues fans await an ultimatum, the fanbase continues to theorise hints that Fernandez will indeed join the west Londoners this month.
