At last, Chelsea capture Portuguese star

Chelsea have beaten off Man Utd and Arsenal to the signing of Joao Felix; Portugal forward becomes Chelsea’s fourth January signing, after Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos; Atletico allowed Felix to leave due to his difficult relationship with Diego Simeone

The Blues have beaten Premier League rivals Manchester United and Arsenal to the signing of the Portugal forward, with neither side willing to pay the €11m (£9.69m) loan fee plus wages.

Atletico have said Felix has agreed to extend his deal with the Spanish club by one year taking his deal up until June 2027.
