Chelsea have announced the signing of Portugal international Joao Felix on loan from Spanish side Atletico Madrid for the rest of the season.

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 of €126million.

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.

On moving on loan to Chelsea, Joao Felix said: “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.”

Welcome to Chelsea, Joao!
