Glen Johnson tells Chelsea to beat Manchester United to 'gamechanger' signing

METRO

Though Felix has scored just twice at Stamford Bridge, his overall performances have been impressive and he’s made it clear how much he wants to stay in England.)

Chelsea have spent £600m across the last two windows and Felix would likely cost around £90m, which would make complying with Financial Fair Play rules difficult.

But, with Manchester United now interested in signing Felix, Johnson says it’s vital Chelsea keep the Portugal forward.

‘He’s certainly won me over more in the last few games,’ Johnson told BetFred.

‘He showed against Liverpool that he’s clearly a class player and normally I don’t like to see clubs go all-out to sign one player, but João is a gamechanger. He’s got eyes in the back of his head and he’s a proper, proper footballer.

‘The need to sign him will be even greater if one of the club’s main rivals came in for him. I don’t like to see clubs break the bank for players and you should only do that if the player is going to be the last piece of the puzzle, but Chelsea’s team are miles away from that.
