Chelsea are reportedly already sold on signing Joao Felix in the summer on a permanent deal, with the likes of Arsenal set to officially miss out on the Atletico Madrid star.
According to report, the Blues have been very impressed with what they have seen from the Portuguese international despite playing just three games for the west London club, with Felix scoring over the weekend in Chelsea’s 1-1 draw against West Ham.

Although Felix was shown a straight red card in his debut against Fulham, the 23-year-old has shown a lot of promise since signing for Chelsea in January on a short-term loan deal, with Graham Potter’s side now keen to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.
Indeed, Chelsea are set to spend big yet again in the summer having spend over £500m in the last two transfer windows combined. And Felix could easily become one of their most expensive signings if the Blues decide to meet Atletico’s demands on a permanent deal.
As for Arsenal, whilst Felix would have been a useful loan signing, the reality is that the Gunners made the right choice in investing in a wide-attacker in Leandro Trossard than a central forward like the Portuguese international, with the case also the same heading into the summer.
