A recent survey evaluating the worst Premier League signings of the season so far so João Felix coming in second.

Chelsea fans, though, can console themselves with having dodged one bullet.
The player who was judged the worst signing of the season so far as Manchester United defender, Matthis de Ligt, another player with whom they were previously linked.
