Cesar Azpilicueta hails new Chelsea signing Joao Felix as 'unbelievable' and predicts the 'amazing' Portuguese forward to have a big impact on the club during his 'surprise' loan move to Stamford Bridge

Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has described new signing Joao Felix as 'unbelievable' and admitted his surprise in seeing Atletico Madrid loan him out for the rest of the season.

Felix was one of eight new signings Todd Boehly sanctioned in the January transfer window, with the Portuguese joining in a loan deal worth £9million.

The 23-year-old has enjoyed mixed fortunes since joining the west London club, after being sent off on his debut at Fulham, only to dazzle during his return from suspension as he netted his first goal for the club in the 1-1 draw with West Ham on Saturday.
