Joao Felix is 'keen to remain in the Premier League next season but wants Champions League football' - which Chelsea cannot offer... although Blues-bound Mauricio Pochettino 'wants to keep the Portugal star'

Joao Felix is eager to continue playing in the Premier League next season, but not necessarily with Chelsea.

The forward has scored three goals in 17 appearances since joining Chelsea on loan from Atletico Madrid in January.

According to Cope, Felix could end up playing for one of Chelsea's Premier League rivals next season, as he looks to secure Champions League football for 2023-24.

As the Blues sit outside the race for the top four, that limits his options for a potential destination to the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle, Manchester United, and Liverpool - who are only fifth by one point.
