Your Chelsea transfer round-up on Thursday, January 12.
Joao Felix confirmed
Joao Felix has joined Chelsea on a six-month loan from Atletico Madrid. The 23-year-old has been secured for a fee around £11million with the Blues also paying his wages too.
There is no obligation or option to buy for Graham Potter's side after the Portugal forward signed an extension on his current deal in Spain, keeping there until 2027.
He will wear the famous No.11 shirt during his time at Stamford Bridge, a jersey previously sported by club legend Didier Drogba but more recently by Timo Werner.

Aubameyang return
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be set for an immediate return to Barcelona, less than 12 months since he moved there from Arsenal.
The 33-year-old has fallen down the pecking order under Graham Potter but still has 18 months left on his current deal. The Catalan club are willing to take the striker back but only in certain circumstances.
According to reports in Spain it could take a free transfer for Xavi's side to accept a deal and it would also hinge on Memphis Depay leaving. An option for him is Atletico Madrid after Felix's move to London.

Porro contact
Chelsea have reportedly made contact with Sporting full-back Pedro Porro in a bid to sign the youngster as competition and rotation for Reece James.
A new right-sided defender is still seen as a priority for Potter this month in a bid to shore up his backline and also secure long-term depth across the pitch.
Porro, 23, has impressed this season in the Champions League and is on the radar of Chelsea, though Spurs are also said to be interested in his getting his signature.
