Joao Felix says he's settled quickly at Chelsea.

Felix joined Chelsea on-loan from Atletico Madrid, though was sent off on his debut.

He told AS: "It's really good. Just like Madrid, it's a really nice place to live. It's a great city. Chelsea's training ground is terrific, too. It's close to where I live. To be honest, my daily life here is very similar to what it was like in Madrid.

"It's a top club, as we all know. It's really, really well set up; it has everything. There are a lot of people surrounding the team who make sure that everything's going well, and that's really helpful. It's a very well structured club.

"(Chelsea's wealth) is very noticeable. Because of the signings that are brought in, because of everything. It's also a club that's changing on the inside; they're bringing in new people and are in a process of change. It's clear that this is a club with a lot of money.

"It's been a different experience, because when I joined Atltico Madrid, I was a lot younger. I was 19. Now I'm 23, and I've settled in right from the off. I knew some of my team-mates already, and that made things easier."

On fellow new signing Enzo Fernandez, Felix also said: "He's a really good lad. He's integrated into the group really well. He arrived two days before a game and started playing from the off. He performed really well. He's a terrific player.

"Football has changed and it's going to be normal to see players bought for 80, 90, 100, 110 million He's worth that kind of money because he's a young lad, he's a very good player and there's so much scope for him to get better and better. He's most likely going to be one of the best central midfielders in Europe."
