Chelsea are edging closer to securing the services of Joao Felix on loan until the end of the season, football.london understands. The Blues have a verbal agreement in place for the Atletico Madrid striker for a fee in the region of €11million (£9.7million).
Todd Boehly has already signed three players this month with Benoit Badiashile arriving to bolster Graham Potter's backline alongside David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos. The club are not expected to finish with their winter business just yet.
Chelsea have struggled in front of goal this campaign and have dropped further down the table into 10th. Any hopes of finishing in the Premier League top rely on a transformation in form at Stamford Bridge and a new forward enhances that.
