What Joao Felix did for Enzo Fernandez as Chelsea sent clear £124.5m summer transfer message

Chelsea midfield star Enzo Fernandez has urged the club to make Joao Felix's loan switch into a permanent stay in the summer transfer window. It comes after the Atletico Madrid striker has impressed in his short spell with the Blues so far, showing the quality he has in reserve.

The Portuguese international signed on a loan deal in January that lasts until the end of the season, having fallen out of favour under Diego Simeone. At Stamford Bridge, there were hopes that the 23-year-old would be able to recapture some of the form that has had him touted as a promising talent.

His impact on the squad has been clear too, settling in as a key member, despite only having a guaranteed stay of a few months at Stamford Bridge. Fernandez summed this up best when he described how Felix had helped him settle shortly after making a British transfer record switch.
