Chelsea welcomed back Joao Felix with open arms this summer, as the talented attacking midfielder returned for a fee of £45m. Marc Cucurella, Felix's teammate, is confident that the Portuguese player will prove to be an excellent piece of business for the club. Cucurella believes that Felix was simply unlucky during his first spell with Chelsea, and is excited to see what he can bring to the team this time around.
Felix's return to Chelsea was part of a deal that saw Conor Gallagher go to Atletico Madrid. Many were surprised by Felix's arrival, especially after his underwhelming six-month loan stint at Stamford Bridge in the 2022/23 season. However, the 24-year-old proved his doubters wrong with an instant impact off the bench against Wolves, scoring a clinical goal to make it 6-2 at Molineux last month. He also came on as a substitute in Chelsea's clash with Crystal Palace, but was unable to make a difference as the team dropped points against their London rivals.
With the international break over, Chelsea will face Bournemouth in their next Premier League match and Felix will be eager to make his first start of the season at the Vitality Stadium. When asked if Felix will finally deliver on his potential at Chelsea, Cucurella told EFE that he performed well during his previous stint at the club and is a player who can contribute a lot to the team. He also added that the Premier League provides more space for Felix to move around and he hopes that the Portuguese player will help the team greatly.
Cucurella also expressed his high hopes for Felix this season and praised the team's new manager, Enzo Maresca. He hopes that there will be more stability at Chelsea this season, especially after a summer of major upheaval at the club. Cucurella believes that the team has high-level players and with stability and patience, they can achieve great things.
Overall, Cucurella is happy with the club's current state and is excited to see what the future holds. He hopes for stability and the opportunity for the players and coaches to work together in order to achieve success. With the level of talent in the team, Cucurella is confident that Chelsea can reach great heights this season.
