Chelsea told why they should sign Joao Felix permanently amid Frank Lampard comparisons

Joao Felix has made quite the impact during his brief stint as a Chelsea player. Having beaten off Manchester Utd and Arsenal to the January loan signing, his Blues debut failed to last an hour after he was dismissed for a horror tackle on Kenny Tete against Fulham, but his time on the pitch did show plenty of promise with signs of creativity and attacking threat.

Since returning from his suspension, the Atletico Madrid forward has continued to impress for Graham Potter's side, notching up goals against West Ham United and Everton. Felix's loan will expire at the end of the season, when - as things stand - he will head back to Spain.

However, both parties appear to want a permanent move with Felix well-liked at Stamford Bridge, while his relationship with Atletico boss Diego Simeone appears unrepairable. Former Chelsea player Shaun Wright-Phillips believes acquiring the Portuguese's future beyond this campaign should be a priority as the 23-year-old is the player the squad has been lacking for many years.
