Joao Felix showed Chelsea exactly what they had been missing just 15 minutes into his debut earlier this year. After being announced as a new Blues player on Monday, January 12, Felix made his Chelsea bow the following evening against Fulham showing signs of creativity and attacking threat the Blues had struggled to see consistently for several months.
Unfortunately, his first appearance was marred significantly for a horror tackle on Kenny Tete which saw him sent off. A three-game suspension meant he next appeared for Chelsea against West Ham on February 11, once again showing how much Graham Potter had missed him.
Combining with Enzo Fernandez, Felix put Chelsea into the lead with a calm volley at London Stadium and since that goal he has been a main stay in the starting XI. The Premier League clash with Leicester saw the Portugal international make his seventh consecutive start, but he was withdrawn at half time with Chelsea 2-1 in front.
