Portuguese forward spent the second half of the season on loan at Stamford Bridge under
Graham Potter and Frank Lampard.

Chelsea, scoring four times. football.london understands he loved his time in London
and was keen on staying beyond the expiry of his contract.

"He will return here, we'll see. We have
nothing planned."
Pochettino's decision not to sign Felix as part of his plans in west
London means the former Benfica star will seek a new challenge elsewhere. However,
right now, the forward is enjoying himself in Ibiza.
Felix has posted a series of
of himself and friends taking in the hot weather overseas on Instagram. On Wednesday,
he posted four
of him walking along the streets before releasing more of him on a
yacht.
Where Felix will end up next season remains unclear. Newcastle have expressed an
interest in his services ahead of their return to the Champions League, alongside
potential suitors in Europe.
