Footage of Joao Felix's first Chelsea training session has emerged online and supporters think he'll quickly figure out how poor they are going forward.

The 23-year-old will spend the rest of this season on loan at Stamford Bridge after the Blues paid a whopping £9.7 million loan fee to Atletico Madrid. Felix had fallen out with Atletico manager Diego Simeone, although he signed a one-year extension until 2027 with the club before leaving.

Chelsea are currently 10th in the Premier League table and 10 points off the top four. Their issues in front of goal mean Raheem Sterling is their top goalscorer in all competitions with six goals.

Check out footage of Felix finding out exactly how poor Chelsea's attacking play is below.

The Portugal international is elegant with the ball at his feet and at his best when he brings his teammates into the game.

Felix isn't a traditional goalscorer, having managed 34 goals in 131 appearances for Atletico.

Chelsea manager Graham Potter will be hoping he can bring his fellow forwards into the game more, given their lack of penetration since his arrival in September.

In one clip, it looks like Felix attempted to play a one-two with a teammates. He didn't receive the ball back however, looking to the sky in frustration.

Fans have reacted to the video, already worried about how their new signing will fit before he's even played a game.

One person said: "That one-two pass can never get to him. I'm not surprised."

Another put: "He was expecting a one-two in the first clip. We are finished."

A third tweeted: "I mean, I know it’s a short clip - but he already looks clear of everyone."

While someone added: "Bro doesn't know the club he's joined I saw that pass."

Felix is eligible to play in Thursday's clash with Fulham. Potter refused to confirm if he would start the game in his pre-match press conference.

He said: "He [Felix] can make a difference in the final third of the pitch. He’s young but has still had a lot of really good experience. He’s just a quality player that gives everyone a lift.

"We’ve been aware of (him) for a while – these kinds of things don’t happen quickly. The injuries have sharpened the focus a little bit. Still it’s nice to get him here, to get him training today. That’s a positive for us.

"Then we’ll see for the game on Thursday. We’re waiting for confirmation.

"He’s a good age, the quality is there. He’s a fantastic player. His quality is in terms of playing as a second striker, playing between the lines, making things happen in the final third. So we’re looking forward to working with him."
