Joao Felix has already found dream Chelsea teammate he's 'similar' to as Potter unleashes attack

Joao Felix has already been convinced by the quality of one of his new teammates at Stamford Bridge after signing for Chelsea on loan. The 23-year-old has joined on a six-month deal from Atletico Madrid in a bid to help Graham Potter stimulate attacking creativity and flair for the rest of the season.

With injuries to attacking players and reinforcements needed in January, Chelsea turned to one of Europe's previous Golden Boy winners. Felix was amongst the highest rated forwards in his age group when he moved to Spain in 2019 but has stagnated since then.

Chelsea have taken a risk on the deal, paying £11million plus his wages for the temporary services of the Portugal international but they will be hoping he can help to lead a second half of the season upturn in form as well as adding life to his own career.
