(Video) Joao Felix Spotted On His Way To Airport to Sign For Chelsea
Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix has been sighted on Tuesday, January 10, on his to the airport to sign for Chelsea.
The Portugal international is expected to join the Stamford Bridge outfit on loan until the end of the season.
The Blues are in dire need of more firepower up front, with Kai Havertz, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic all struggling in front of goal.
However, fresh reports indicate that Chelsea are the strong favourites to sign the former Benfica star - albeit temporarily.
In a video posted on Twitter, spotted by Sports Brief, Felix was filmed by El Chiringuito TV as the passenger in a black Mercedes as he made his journey to complete the transfer.
Fffffhhh

Felix’s career has recently slowed down at Atletico, although he shone with Portugal at the World Cup. He was reportedly attracted to Chelsea more than any other club because he liked the project the club is building.
