Todd Boehly told next Chelsea transfer priority as stunning West Ham moment calls for huge deal

Chelsea supporters have pleaded with Todd Boehly to sign Joao Felix in the summer on a permanent deal following the forward's first-half volley against West Ham. The 23-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal and Manchester United throughout the January transfer window, but after the Blues entered the race late he opted for a switch to Stamford Bridge.

The west Londoners are expected to pay Atletico Madrid around £9million for the six-month loan signing of Felix, who has was watched on numerous occasions by the club's scouts ahead of his arrival. The Portugal international dazzled on his Chelsea debut against Fulham last month before picking up a three-match suspension.

Upon his return, Felix has picked up from where he left off. He's excited Blues supporters from the off against the Hammers and large sections of the fanbase have demanded that Boehly signs him permanently in the summer.
