Chelsea are reportedly confident that they can secure new signing Joao Felix on a permanent deal, as the Blues plot to offload a number of players in the summer transfer window.
The Portuguese forward, 23, secured a move from Atletico Madrid until the end of the season on Wednesday and was notably handed his debut by manager Graham Potter less than 36 hours later. Unfortunately for Felix, however, his Premier League bow went down as one of the most infamous debuts in English top-flight history.
Following a promising first hour as he helped Chelsea draw level with hosts Fulham early in the second half, the Portugal international soon received a straight red card for a reckless two-footed tackle on opposition right-back Kenny Tate. Adding insult to injury, the Blues went on to lose 2-1, their third league defeat of the season and a result which puts Potter under more pressure.
