Joao Felix tells Man Utd and Arsenal what they'll be missing after he joins Chelsea on loan

Joao Felix told Manchester United and Arsenal what they will be missing upon signing for Chelsea.

The Blues have signed the Atletico Madrid striker on loan for the rest of the season for a fee of £9.7million.

Meanwhile, Felix has also put pen to paper on a one-year extension to his Atletico contract, that will keep him in the Spanish capital until June 2027.

Aged just 19, Felix became the fifth most expensive player in history when Atletico paid £113million for him in 2019.

However, after falling out with the club’s manager Diego Simeone earlier this season, the Portugal international was offered to some of the Premier League's biggest clubs, including Arsenal, United and the Blues.

Chelsea eventually won the race for the 23-year-old, with their need for an attacker sharpened by Christian Pulisic being sidelined for two months through injury.

In a topsy-turvy three-and-a-half-year spell in Madrid Felix has scored 34 goals and claimed 18 assists in 131 appearances.

The forward, who is known for his technical prowess, told the Chelsea fans what he would bring to Graham Potter’s side in the second half of the campaign.

Felix told Chelsea TV: “I’ll bring my football, my happiness to the game and give a lot of fun to the fans.

“I’m a player that wants to have the ball and play with happiness.

“I want to make all the fans enjoy my football and help the team.”

On signing for the Blues he added: “I’m very happy to be here at Chelsea.

"It’s one of the great teams in the world and I hope to help the team reach their objectives. I am very, very happy to be here and very excited to play at Stamford Bridge."

Manchester United, who are themselves in dire need of a forward after the acrimonious departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, are on the verge of signing Netherlands striker Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley.

Meanwhile, Arsenal appear to be closing in on the No.1 target Mykhailo Mudryk.
