Chelsea new loan signee names his favourite players

Chelsea’s newest signing Joao Felix has named favourites at the club to be the likes of Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Eden Hazard, all of who are non-Portuguese.

Recall that Felix completed his transfer to Chelsea on a loan deal from Spanish side Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

The Portugal star will remain at Stamford Bridge until the end of the campaign.

Chelsea, however, doesn’t have the option to buy him permanently as it was not included in his deal.

This means Felix would be expected to return to Atletico Madrid next season.

When asked about Chelsea stars from the past, Felix said in a video on the club’s website on Wednesday, “Chelsea players that I remember, I can say Portuguese players: Deco, Ricardo Carvalho, Paulo Ferreira, and [Raul] Meireles.

He added, “But there are other players that are not Portuguese that I like too, like [Eden] Hazard, Frank Lampard, [Didier] Drogba.”
