Chelsea boss Graham Potter has a lot of time for new signing Joao Felix.

The club have splashed a lot of money to secure Felix on loan for the rest of the season from Atletico Madrid.

While Potter knows that Felix is not in the club's long-term plans, he will use him extensively this season.

He stated during a press conference: “My thoughts are that you have to fix the team. It's not just one person to solve the problems. You have to fix the team, attack better, create chances, and then whoever is playing then can score and the team can win. That is the focus. Clearly, though, Joao is a top player, a talented player, and he can help the team."

He then added on Felix having an immediate impact: “He's been training regularly and had game time, so from a physical perspective he can go in. It's always a bit of an unknown going from one country to another and there is always an adaptation period, but how long that takes goes from player to player.

"I see a confident person, a confident player, a player that can impose himself on the game. His personality and attributes are that he can take the ball in tight spaces, make the difference in the final third, and play passes. I think he compliments what we have as well so I'm looking forward to working with him."
