Former Manchester City defender Danny Mills has weighed in on Enzo Fernandez's transfer, which saw the Argentine make the switch to the Cityzens from Chelsea for a whopping £125 million.
Mills is adamant that this record transfer has firmly established City as the frontrunners for the Premier League title.
Forget about the transfer fee. The quality and depth he adds to the midfield turn them from potential contenders into clear favourites.
The pundit pointed out that prior to Fernandez's arrival, the midfield burden could fall heavily on the young shoulders of Ayub Boadi and Elliot Anderson. Now, with the Argentine’s vital experience and creativity working alongside Mateo Kovacic, City’s options have significantly improved.
Following their loss to Arsenal in the Community Shield, City found their stride and have now secured six straight wins across all competitions.
Mills also addressed the team's reliance on Erling Haaland, who has already netted six goals this season. He believes the club's hierarchy has a clear plan and should the need arise, they can certainly make a move in the January transfer window.
