FOOTBALL fans have set up a petition for Chelsea to be investigated if they seal a sensational £115million deadline day deal Enzo Fernandez transfer.
The Blues are hoping to complete a British record move for the Benfica midfielder, which would take their January spending beyond £300m.

To put that into context, Newcastle are next on the list with £50m following the arrivals of Anthony Gordon and Harrison Ashby.
Securing Fernandez‘s services would take their spending during his reign to more than HALF A BILLION in the space of two windows.
And many supporters want something done about the situation, which has led to them setting up a petition.
More than 1,000 people have already signed the written request with another 500 making it more likely to get picked up.
Despite their incredible activity in the market, Chelsea are still struggling this season.
Graham Potter‘s side are ten points behind the top four and are already out of both domestic cups.
They have their last 16 tie against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
But there’s every chance they won’t be in Europe’s elite competition next season, unless they go all the way to win the trophy.

If Chelsea do make Fernandez their eighth signing this month, he could make his debut as soon as Friday.
That’s because the Stamford Bridge side return to action with a West London derby against Fulham on February 3.
