Chelsea manager Graham Potter has been told to sign “luxury player” Joao Felix on a permanent basis by former player Glen Johnson. However, he added the club should prioritise other areas first, as they are in greater need of fixing.
Once those issues have been solved, then Johnson believes Felix has the quality to complete the line-up and thrive in more suitable conditions. “He’s a player that’s technically very good and has a good football brain, however, I just believe that Chelsea have bigger issues at the moment in terms of laying their foundation and finding the spine of their team,” Johnson told Betfred.
“Joao Felix is a luxury player that comes into a team as the final piece of the puzzle and that’s when you’d see him at his best. He needs to be playing in a good team that has the ball for the majority of the time during a game, and that isn’t Chelsea at the moment.
