Chelsea Complete the Loan Signing of Joao Felix! The Portuguese forward has joined The Premier League giants on an interim deal.

Joao Felix has joined Premier League giants Chelsea on a short-term deal. He will remain at the club for the remainder of the current season.

The attacker is reportedly at odds with Diego Simeone, manager of parent club Atletico Madrid. This is because of the style of play implemented by the La Liga giants.

As a result, he has sought a short transfer away from the club. It is likely that he will demand a transfer away from Atletico Madrid, depending on whether Simeone will be there at the club or not.

“Portuguese attacker Joao Felix will be part of the Chelsea squad for the remainder of the season, having moved to Stamford Bridge on loan from Atletico Madrid.” The club announced in a statement.

“The 23-year-old previously played for Benfica in his homeland before switching to the Spanish capital in the summer of 2019, for a record fee for both clubs.

“A skilful and stylish attacker, Joao Felix is most effective when roaming fluidly across the forward line and involving himself in the build-up play.

“Joao Felix was part of the Atletico side which claimed La Liga two seasons ago and as a teenager at Benfica, he was also a league champion, in his debut season.

“As well as team glory, the Portuguese international has been recognised individually, with his 2019 Golden Boy award honouring him as the best young player in Europe. He was also named Atleti Player of the Season last term by the club’s supporters.

“At the Qatar FIFA World Cup, Joao Felix scored a vital goal in Portugal’s opening game, a 3-2 win over Ghana and he provided two assists during the tournament. He already has 28 caps to his name.

“Welcome to Chelsea, Joao!”

He will be looking to impress to get a permanent deal with the club. Chelsea Complete the Loan Signing of Joao Felix!
