Since the season began, Felix has appeared in 364 Premier League minutes, however he has only started three games. Last summer, Villa tried to sign Felix, but Chelsea ended up signing him instead. But RMC Sport reports that Villa are still interested and are in talks with Chelsea about a possible transfer.
Even though Felix has drawn interest from other clubs around Europe, including Villa’s head coach Unai Emery, rumour has it that Emery is a huge fan of the Chelsea forward. For Joao, I said Joao more or less has the same position as Cole.
In certain games they already played together but then it’s an issue of balance, this is the reason why,” Maresca stated after deciding not to include Felix in last month’s Fulham match.
Talks over a loan agreement for the rest of the current season are ongoing between Chelsea and Villa.
