Aston Villa enquire over out-of-favour Chelsea star Joao Felix... with former Atletico Madrid man starting just THREE times in the Premier League since his £46m move last summer

Aston Villa are among the clubs to have enquired about Chelsea winger Joao Felix as he looks for more game time in the second half of the season.

Felix, 25, joined Chelsea for a reported £46million from Atletico Madrid last summer but has struggled for sufficient game time under Enzo Maresca since signing his six-year deal at Stamford Bridge.

The Portuguese star, who is behind first-choice No 10 Cole Palmer in the pecking order, has only started three Premier League games since the start of the campaign, prompting a handful of clubs including Aston Villa to reach out over his situation at Chelsea.
