Chelsea stunned world with big name signing – ‘will be fantastic’ signing for Maresca
Chelsea stunned the world again in the summer transfer window when they brought back Joao Felix to the club, but if you believe the words of reporter Iomie Stanley – he could be a fantastic buy for the club in the long-run.
He told icfootballnews: ‘ Félix’s versatility is one of the key reasons why he could be a fantastic signing for CHELSEA in the long run. Capable of playing across various attacking positions, including as a second striker, winger, or even as a false nine, Félix offers tactical flexibility that is invaluable for a modern manager like Maresca.
‘Félix’s technical ability aligns perfectly with the style of play that Maresca is likely to implement at Chelsea. Maresca, known for his time working under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, is expected to bring a possession-based, high-intensity style to Stamford Bridge. Félix’s close control, dribbling prowess, and vision make him well-suited for such a system. He excels in tight spaces, has the creativity to unlock stubborn defenses, and possesses the intelligence to link up play effectively with teammates.
‘These attributes make him a potential focal point in Chelsea’s attack, capable of both scoring goals and creating opportunities for others.
While Félix has already shown flashes of brilliance, there is a sense that his best football is still ahead of him. Under Maresca’s tutelage, Félix has the opportunity to refine his game further, particularly in terms of consistency and decision-making in the final third. Chelsea’s coaching staff will likely work closely with him to harness his full potential, turning him into one of Europe’s elite attackers.
Additionally, Félix’s return to CHELSEA could have a positive effect on the team’s mentality and culture. His experience playing at the highest levels, including in the Champions League and for the Portuguese national team, brings a winning mentality that can be infectious in the dressing room.
As Chelsea looks to re-establish itself among Europe’s elite, having players with Félix’s experience and hunger for success will be crucial in guiding the younger talents within the squad.
‘As one of the most marketable young footballers in the world, Félix’s presence at Chelsea could help the club expand its global brand and attract lucrative sponsorship deals. This financial boost could further support the club’s ambitions in the transfer market, allowing them to continuously build a competitive squad’
