Chelsea are being tipped to make Enzo Fernandez \u201cthrow in the towel\u201d after his World Cup ending, with his \u201cperfect\u201d replacement named by an ex-Blues man.<\/p>\n
Fernandez<\/strong> reached the World Cup final with Argentina, where it all came crashing down. The Chelsea<\/strong> midfielder was booked for talking back to the referee, before he was sent off for a hard challenge on Pau Cubarsi, as his side went onto lose 1-0 in extra time.<\/p>\n That came after he scored the equaliser against England in the semi final, and after the victory, taunted Three Lions fans \u2013 the country in which he plays his club football \u2013 by playing their unofficial World Cup song Wonderwall over an Instagram post.<\/p>\n Following the latter stages of the World Cup, former Premier League scout Keith Wyness feels Fernandez might not last much longer in the Premier League.<\/p>\n He told Football Insider<\/em>: \u201cI think coming off the back of the World Cup, it\u2019ll blow over to a certain degree, but the fans won\u2019t forget. And I don\u2019t think the Chelsea fans are particularly enamoured with him and his behaviour either,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know that we can forgive our own local heroes in each team, but I think in this case, it\u2019s gone a little bit further. We\u2019ll see what sort of sanctions there are after the World Cup. He\u2019s shown himself to be a very hot-headed player.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is an unsettling character in the squad. And I think opponents will get to him and wind him up.\u00a0I think we\u2019ll see a story of more red cards coming in the Premier League.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s somebody that will just throw in the towel and eventually will want to move.\u201d<\/p>\n Fernandez has been linked with big clubs such as Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich this summer.<\/p>\n Should Fernandez leave Chelsea, with fellow midfielder Andrey Santos having already left for Manchester United, the Blues will want an apt replacement.<\/p>\n Former Blues man Glen Johnson thinks Manu Kone<\/strong> is that man.<\/p>\n He told Metro<\/em>: \u201cHe has been excellent for France. A top midfielder, strong, physical, can use the ball well, pick a pass well, he is a top player, and to get into the French midfield you must be a good player.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIf Enzo leaves, he can be the perfect replacement for sure. His attributes seem to be suited to the Premier League, so I don\u2019t think he will have any issues getting used to the game at all.\u201d<\/p>\n Kone is a target for Manchester United, who have begun conversations with Roma over his transfer, but those are still in the early stages.<\/p>\n READ MORE<\/strong><\/em>: Transfer rumour ranking: Dream on, Man Utd; Chelsea rival Arsenal for England star<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\nKone tipped to replace Fernandez<\/strong><\/h2>\n
