Chelsea are getting closer to completing the signing of Joao Felix on a loan deal until the end of the season from Atletico Madrid, sources have told football.london.
News broke on Monday afternoon that the Blues have been in advanced negotiations with Atletico over a temporary move for the 23-year-old. Sources have confirmed that Felix is closing in on a loan move to Stamford Bridge as he looks to force his way out of the Spanish capital.
There are countless issues on the pitch at the moment for Chelsea. Their defending has been poor and the midfield has been practically non-existent in the last nine games, where the Blues have been beaten on six occasions. Their attacking play has also been slow and too predictable, which are just two of the reasons they've scored only five goals in their last nine matches.
