Portuguese youngster, Joao Felix, who is being hailed as a teen prodigy, was promoted to Benfica's first team only at the start of this season. The 18-year-old has made just five appearances thereafter but seems to have caught the attention of Premier League giants Chelsea.

As per reports from the Mirror (via SkySports), Chelsea are planning a January move for the teenager, who currently has a buy-out clause of £45 million. However, the Blues could have to cough up a lot more for him, as the reports suggest that Benfica intend to offer Felix a staggering new contract next week, with a new release clause of £105 million.
