Potter name Chelsea Star that'll make his debut against Fulham

The Blues are believed to have agreed to pay an €11m (£9.7m) fee, on top of his €6m (£5.29m) a year salary, to take Felix on loan for the rest of the season.

There isn’t believed to be an option or obligation to buy in the summer, which may turn out to be a wise or poor decision depending on how he performs for Graham Potter’s side in the coming months.

Felix cost Atletico £113m when he made his move to Benfica in 2019 but he hasn’t managed to make much of an impact in Spain. Both Arsenal and Manchester United were also interested in the 23-year-old but it is believed he was attracted by the project at Chelsea.
