Chelsea given new £13.3m raised loan price for Joao Felix as hitch emerges amid Arsenal link

Although Chelsea are one of several sides to be offered Joao Felix's services there is still a long way to go before a deal can be done. The Portuguese forward appears to be coming to an end in his relationship with Atletico Madrid and could leave the Spanish capital as soon as January.

Having shown his qualities on the world stage in Qatar - specifically with a dazzling display against Switzerland in the 6-1 last-16 victory - Felix remains a highly thought of player across Europe. However, his disappointing output following a £100m move to Atletico in 2019 hasn't seen him elevated to the stardom expected.

Often restricted in an overly defensive set-up under Diego Simeone, Felix has only played 510 league minutes across 12 game this season. His tally of three goals and three assists in that time is impressive considering he has started less than half the matches.
