Chelsea star Joao Felix has, on Friday, provided a brief insight into his future beyond the summer.
Portuguese international Felix, of course, opted to take his talents to Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window.
Fresh off something of a hit-and-miss opening half to the campaign, the 23-year-old, alongside parent club Atletico Madrid, came to the mutual decision to part ways for the remainder of the campaign.
Felix, in turn, went on to endure something of a nightmare start for his new club, famously dismissed during a Premier League meeting with Fulham on January 12th.
That’s a horror tackle 😳

Since, however, the frontman has been regularly lauded for his efforts, across appearances against the likes of West Ham, Borussia Dortmund and Everton.
And though some remain on the fence owing to his profligacy in front of goal, many of a Chelsea persuasion have, in turn, already made clear their hopes of the club moving to make Felix’s arrival permanent come the summer.
And though, during an interview with the London Blue Pod, Felix did admit that he simply ‘doesn’t know the future yet’, he went on to hint at interest in staying put for the long-term, in hailing both the stature of Chelsea as a club, and ‘project’ currently being put in place by the powers that be at Stamford Bridge.
