Chelsea are ramping up their attempts to bring in players for Graham Potter in January and have turned their attention to Joao Felix. With Armando Broja injured until the end of the season at least there is a new hole in squad to be filled.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is 33 and has only scored one in the league whilst Kai Havertz is yet to score a league goal with his feet this season. Broja had only got one himself but had played much less comparatively and was often used as a substitute.
With Todd Boehly also trying to bring in new defenders and midfielders there is a need for cheaper options and solutions to be used as well in order to spread the cost of a major squad overhaul. One of the ways to do this is by using the loan market and Atletico Madrid star Felix is the man in the spotlight.
