The London giants owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly a big fan of Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix as he eyes up a possible transfer.
The 21-year-old forward has struggled in his time in Spain, and it wouldn’t be too surprising to see him move on soon, with big clubs perhaps still likely to rate him highly after the immense potential he showed in his Benfica days.
The Blues could be suitors for Portugal international, which is valued at nearly €80m, but Los Colchoneros might also be open to agreeing on a swap deal that would see Timo Werner move in the other direction. Like Joao, Timo Werner has looked a shadow of his old self in recent times, so this exchange could suit all parties involved.
Timo Werner could get the opportunity to revive his career by leaving the Blues, while Chelsea will no doubt hope they can get Joao back to his best at Chelsea, thereby helping them look in strong shape up front.
Joao could be an upgrade on Timo Werner, and also on inconsistent performers like Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech, though some fans might be unsure about him after his difficult spell in Atletico Madrid.
Romelu Lukaku joined Chelsea this summer and has started well, but the German coach could surely do with someone like Felix coming in to make sure his team doesn’t become overly reliant on the Belgian goal machine.
