Chelsea target Arsen Zakharyan has joked that he's already had a chat with Joao Felix ahead their potential moves to Stamford Bridge this month. The Atletico Madrid star has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this month, with the Blues set to beat both Arsenal Manchester United to his signature.
football.london understands that the west Londoners are close to signing the 23-year-old on loan until the end of the season. The Athletic add that Chelsea have reached a verbal agreement with the Spanish giants, with Felix believed to be enticed by the project at Stamford Bridge.
It's said that Todd Boehly is expected to pay €11million (£9.7million) - a fee which is below what Atletico initially demanded. With a deal seemingly close to completion, fellow Blues target Zakharyan has joked that he is ready to lineup with Felix.
