Your morning transfer round-up of the latest Chelsea news on Wednesday, December 7.
Joao Felix position
Chelsea could be able to secure a long-term transfer next year as Atletico Madrid's CEO revealed Joao Felix's position at the club.
Felix starred for Portugal in a 6-1 win against Switzerland to reach the World Cup quarter finals, and despite scoring the 23-year-old still impressed with his dazzling dribbles across the pitch.
He has bee looked at by Chelsea previously, most notably in 2020 as Frank Lampard looked to overhaul the Blues attack, but he has always been priced out of leaving since his £120m switch to Spain from Benfica in 2019.

Erling Haaland could stop Endrick from moving clubs in a shock state of affairs that also trips up Real Madrid, and hands Chelsea the advantage to sign Brazilian wonderkid Endrick.
The 16-year-old is one of the hottest prospects in world football after making his senior debut last month. With a £52m release clause, there are a host of top clubs looking to bring him in, including Chelsea.
Madrid are also looking at him, but with Haaland a future desire for them, if the Norweigan powerhouse was to move there it could put the spanner in the works of any move for Endrick.
