Chelsea have completed the signing of Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix on loa until the end of the season, as confirmed by the club on social media.
The Blues have fought off rivals to secure the deal for the Portugal international, with the two sides unwilling to pay the €11m (£9.69m) loan fee plus his wages until the end of the season.
The time is now! 👊

Better yet, Felix could be in contention to make his debut for the club on Thursday night when they take on fellow West Londoners Fulham in the Premier League.
However, Blues boss Graham Potter said the club are awaiting conformation of whether or not he can play at Craven Cottage tomorrow night.
He also added: “He’s a quality player. He can make a difference in the final third. He is young but has a lot of really good experience. He’s a quality player that brings everyone a lift.
“It is nice to get him here and training today. We will see him for the game on Thursday.
“From a physical perspective, he can go in. It’s always a little bit of an unknown period as he is going from one club to another, but that’s on a case-to-case basis.”
Can't believe I'm saying this..
Welcome to Chelsea, JOÃO FÉLIX 🇵🇹 https://t.co/y0ru79rmyx
