On paper, the signing of Joao Felix is hardly a priority for Chelsea, but given the recent struggles in attack and the injuries suffered by Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic, it could prove to be an astute temporary purchase. The arrival of Felix in west London is not finalised as of yet, but the Blues are close to signing the Atletico Madrid star on a loan deal until the end of the season, football.london understands.
According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, the Blues have a verbal agreement in place to sign the Portugal international on loan for "approximately €11million". He is determined to leave Atletico Madrid, but football.london understand a deal has not been finalised just yet.
54 goals in 174 senior appearances shows that Felix is hardly a proven goal scorer and his struggles locking down a consistent place in one position also proves that there is some doubt over what the 23-year-olds best role is, but Felix has already revealed what his best position is and it could prove as a benefit to Chelsea.
