Joao Felix has opened up on playing with Christopher Nkunku and believes the pair connect very well together on the pitch.
Felix returned to Chelsea this summer from Atletico Madrid in a deal worth £44.5m, and recently revealed what Enzo Maresca said to him in a phone call before he signed.
Despite scoring on his debut against Wolves, Felix hasn’t started a Premier League game yet and has had to make do with the majority of his minutes coming in the cup competitions.
Felix on his connection with Nkunku
The 24-year-old was an unused substitute against Liverpool last weekend, a decision former Blue Pat Nevin couldn’t understand.
Felix is currently playing second fiddle to Cole Palmer in the number ten role and really needs to make the most of the opportunities given to him.
The Portuguese is likely to start against Panathinaikos and will be desperate to add to the one goal he’s scored this season and show Maresca he should be getting more action in the league.
The game will more than likely see Felix and Nkunku link-up together and speaking ahead of the match the Portuguese revealed why he enjoys playing with the Frenchman.
