What Todd Boehly was spotted doing as Chelsea complete £9.7m Joao Felix loan transfer

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has flown back to his home nation of the USA to attend Hollywood's Golden Globes - as Chelsea continue their work in the transfer market.

The Blues announced the signing of Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. The Portugal international joins on loan until the end of the season with Chelsea reportedly paying a fee of £9.7million.

Felix travelled to London for his medical on Tuesday after Chelsea agreed terms with Atletico, who paid £113million for the 23-year-old from Benfica in 2019. “Chelsea is one of the great teams in the world and I hope to help the team reach their objectives, so I am very, very happy to be here and very excited to play at Stamford Bridge,” he said.
