Atletico Madrid forward, Joao Felix, has joined Chelsea on loan for the rest of the season, the Premier League club announced on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old will bolster the attacking options for manager Graham Potter, whose squad is currently hard-hit by injuries and languishing in 10th spot in the table.

Chelsea described the Portugal international as a β€œskilful and stylish attacker” who is best in a fluid forward role.

β€œChelsea 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,” Felix said in a club statement.

Atletico said Felix had extended his contract with the Spanish club for one more season, until June 2027.

The club said, β€œFrom Atletico de Madrid we wish Joao Felix every success in this new professional stage”.
