What Joao Felix said to send Atletico Madrid sly dig upon Chelsea arrival ahead of Fulham clash

On-loan Chelsea star Joao Felix has been caught sending Atletico Madrid a sly dig upon his introduction to the facilities at Cobham training ground. The 23-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal and Manchester United this month but, after the Blues entered the race late, he opted for a move to Stamford Bridge instead.

Chelsea are expected to pay the Spanish giants around £9million for the six-month loan signing of Felix, who has been watched on numerous occasions this season by the club's scouts. However, Atletico did not want to include an option to buy in the contract.

On Wednesday, January 11, the Blues announced the signing of Felix on a six-month loan from the Spanish giants as Graham Potter looks to bolster his frontline. Upon his arrival to Cobham, it seems that the Portugal international has been left impressed by the facilities - more so than what was available at Atletico.
