Enzo Fernandez could be followed to the Premier League by his glamorous wife Valentina Cervantes who was his biggest fan as he helped Argentina to World Cup glory in Qatar.
Fernandez, 21, will bring both Valentina, 22, and their two-year-old daughter Olivia to the UK should he push through a move to the Premier League with Benfica looking at a bidding war.
Fernandez picked up the young player of the tournament award in Qatar to follow in the footsteps of Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba to send his price tag through the roof.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea among those linked with his signature despite his contract running until the summer of 2027.
Should he enjoy a big-money move in January or the summer, Fernandez might well be relying on Valentina to keep his feet on the ground following her emotional message after Argentina’s win over France.
Valentina wrote on her Instagram upload at the time: “World Champions! I have no words to describe this moment, proud of you and everything you have achieved. I love you to infinity.”

Valentina’s Instagram following has shot up to 404,000 since she appeared at the World Cup supporting her husband, who only made his international debut in September.
He has gone on to make 10 appearances and score his first Argentina goal against Mexico in the group stages, with Valentina joining him on the pitch with their daughter after the final.
Having lifted the trophy with his team-mates, the trio shared hugs and kisses on the playing surface in Qatar before heading back to South America.

The Evening Standard have since reported Chelsea are ready to meet his £105m release clause in the January transfer window.
The report adds at least one other club are in the race to sign the young star with Benfica legend Rui Costa keen to keep him in Portugal.
Since his move to Benfica from River Plate as recently as last January, he has only made 24 appearances for the club as they sit comfortably top of the Primeira Liga table.
