"There is no better place for me than Chelsea"

Joao Felix's time at Atletico Madrid is now over. The Portuguese is now officially a new Chelsea player, the club where he was on loan and who have now bought him for just over 50 million euros.

The Portuguese was euphoric in his first words as a Blue: "It's a great opportunity for me to find a home. After two loan spells, I needed to stay in one place for good. There is no better place for me than Chelsea. I see a perfect place to shine.

"There were many things that made me want to come back: the project, the club, the Premier League, the fans, the time I spent here and I loved it. I felt very good when I was here, despite the results we got. I'm very happy to be back," he said.

The Portugal striker believes he has improved since his time with the London outfit: "I have improved as a player in many aspects: the perception of the game and the spaces where the ball can get to easily and where I can have more impact.

"I've changed a bit since the last time I was here. I'm 24 now and I'll be 25 in November. I feel I've grown as a player. It's normal with getting older. I'm more ready for the Premier League. I feel my best years are ahead of me, I have no doubt about that. This year is going to be a good one. Now I can enjoy my home," Joao Felix explained.
