Chelsea supporters have pleaded with Todd Boehly to sign Joao Felix in the summer on a permanent deal following the forward's first-half volley against West Ham. The 23-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal and Manchester United throughout the January transfer window, but after the Blues entered the race late he opted for a switch to Stamford Bridge.
The west Londoners are expected to pay Atletico Madrid around £9million for the six-month loan signing of Felix, who has was watched on numerous occasions by the club's scouts ahead of his arrival. The Portugal international dazzled on his Chelsea debut against Fulham last month before picking up a three-match suspension.
Upon his return, Felix has picked up from where he left off. He's excited Blues supporters from the off against the Hammers and large sections of the fanbase have demanded that Boehly signs him permanently in the summer.

According to The Athletic, there is a clause in Felix's deal with Chelsea which 'opens the door to a permanent move' at the end of the season. If the Atletico star continues to impress then Boehly appears to be in the position to heed the fans' advice.
However, it must be said that the details of said clause remains unknown as to whether it is a first-option or option-to-buy. So, with that being said, football.london has taken a look at some of the best reaction from Chelsea fans as they beg Boehly to sign Felix at the end of the season.
