Chelsea has reportedly singled out 16-year-old Academy player Reggie Watson as a potential successor to Enzo Fernandez. Fernandez made a £125 million move to Manchester City on the final day of the 2026 summer transfer window, breaking a joint-British transfer record. The west London club decided to let Fernandez depart just hours before the deadline, as he had been seeking a move away from Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's scouting may turn to Watson to address their midfield issues, with the teenager potentially getting regular first-team action if Reece James or Romeo Lavia suffer injuries.
