'Will help us a lot': Cucurella praises new Chelsea signing — 'Will help us a lot': Cucurell

Felix had an unsuccessful loan spell with the Blues last year, and the club decided against the possibility of signing him on a permanent deal.

However, they decided to revive their interest this summer and signed him to compensate for Atletico Madrid's outlay on Conor Gallagher .

Felix made an instant impact with a goal in his second homecoming and Cucurella believes the Portuguese can make a good impression.

He said: "He is a player who can contribute a lot to us. In the Premier there are many more spaces, you can move and hopefully it will help us a lot."

Chelsea are involved in four competitions this term. Cole Palmer has not been registered for the league phase of the Conference League.

This is where Felix could have a huge role to play from the number 10 position. The Portuguese will be eager to prove his credentials.
