Chelsea forward Joao Felix set for AC Milan loan just six months after arriving at Stamford Bridge for £46m

Chelsea outcast Joao Felix is on the brink of joining AC Milan on a loan.

The 25-year-old has started just three Premier League games this season after joining Enzo Maresca's side from Atletico Madrid for £46million in the summer.

Aston Villa had expressed interest in signing Felix this January with president of football operations Monchi last week revealing that the club had tried to bring him to the Midlands 'practically every market'.

But after Villa instead did loan business for Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio, Felix is now likely to move to Italy.
