Chelsea are close to signing Atletico Madrid striker Joao Felix on loan for the rest of the season.
The 23-year-old played for Portugal at the World Cup and scored one goal in five appearances at the tournament.
Felix has attracted interest from Arsenal and Manchester United but is said to be open to a move to Chelsea.
Atletico made Felix the fifth most expensive player in history when they paid Benfica £113m for the 19-year-old in 2019.
Although he sometimes impressed, Félix did not reach the expected heights consistently.
Blues owner Todd Boehly is keen to bolster manager Graham Potter’s injured side, which slipped to 10th in the Premier League and were beaten 4-0 by Manchester City in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Felix has played twice for Atletico since exiting in the World Cup quarter-finals.
He scored in a 2-0 win over Elche on December 29 before playing 73 minutes in a 1-0 loss to Barcelona on Sunday.
Felix has scored five goals and provided three assists for Atletico in 20 outings this season.
