Deal agreed as Chelsea learn Real Madrid’s position on Enzo Fernandez
· 6 min read

Monday also brought movement on several other fronts. Manchester City reached a compensation agreement with Chelsea over appointing Enzo Maresca, Manchester United secured most of the land needed for a proposed 100,000-capacity stadium, and Arsenal expect to bring in Leicester teenager Jeremy Monga before pre-season.
