Marc Cucurella praises Chelsea teammate for surprising gift image

Chelsea's attacking unit is full of depth this season, from experienced Premier League players like Cole Palmer to less experienced players like Estevao. 

Enzo Maresca's side might have one of the best midfield duos in Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez. 

Both players offer quality on and off the ball, offensively and defensively. 

Defender Marc Cucurella has praised Fernandez for his instincts offensively, saying to Chelsea's official website, "I think he [Fernandez] scores a lot of goals and has a striker's instinct."

How good has Fernandez been for Chelsea?

After a slow start, Fernandez has turned into one of Chelsea's most important players.

The Argentine midfielder already has two goals and one assist in the league this season. 

Last season, Fernandez scored nine goals across all competitions for Chelsea and had seven assists. 

Fernandez plays as a central midfielder, but he has become an important attacker for the club, timing his runs into the box to perfection. 

His passing range has improved, and his ability to pick out teammates from deep positions is one of his best skills

Fernandez should be well rested for Chelsea's matches after the international break, given the midfielder was suspended for Argentina's World Cup qualifiers.
