Joao Felix reveals his bond with 'great coach' Graham Potter as he hints at a longer-term stay at Chelsea after falling out with Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid... and says he's confident of starring as his suspension ends

In a wide-ranging interview, Joao Felix has opened up on his relationships with both Graham Potter at Chelsea and Diego Simeone at parent club Atletico Madrid.

The Portuguese star revealed that he has already formed a bond with Potter, as well as admitting that he felt he needed a change of scene this winter after several fruitless attempts to adapt to Simeone's playing style.

A versatile forward, Felix was often played as one of two strikers in a 4-4-2, asked to stay high up the pitch rather than get involved in deeper positions, despite his natural technical abilities.
