Chelsea interim manager Frank Lampard has admitted he is struggling to profile Joao Felix, with the 23 year old Portugal international not even knowing his best position.

Lampard said: “He has a huge talent, what he can do around the box. I really need to find a clear structure, off the ball idea for how we work. That’s a challenge for Joao. He’s not definite if you ask him where he wants to play.

“Maybe he’s not a 9, I need a 9 for the way I want to play. Whatever his future is, I don’t know that.”
