Joao Felix has shot back at transfer claims linking him to a $100million (£87m) move to Newcastle United this summer. The Portuguese star has scored three times for Chelsea since joining the club on loan in January.
His temporary move from Atletico Madrid raised eyebrows in the winter when he was signed for six months for £12m, a fee that was then ridiculed after he was sent off inside one hour of his debut. The 23-year-old has since impressed on occassion for three different coaches but hasn't shown the consistent edge to justify his £111million pricetag.
Felix is expected to head back to Madrid this summer where another decision on his future will be made. Chelsea, who have made a good home for the talented attacker, aren't out of the running with his love of London made clear throughout his time in the capital.
