'Absolute madness': Ally McCoist SLAMS Chelsea's decision to pay a £9m loan fee to sign Joao Felix... as he claims the Atletico Madrid forward is 'not the answer to Chelsea's problems'

Ally McCoist has slammed Chelsea's imminent signing of Joao Felix - branding the Blues' decision to pay a £9m loan fee 'absolute madness'.

Sportsmail reported yesterday how the Atletico Madrid forward is expected to join Graham Potter's side in a temporary move for the rest of the season - and they will also cover his £5.3m wages during his time at Stamford Bridge.

The deal is expected to be completed imminently with Felix seen leaving Atletico Madrid's training ground on Tuesday and his girlfriend was also pictured on a private jet heading to London.
