The Liverpool icon noted that such a large squad could be detrimental to both players and the coach. Carragher advised players against joining the Blues, despite the attractive and lengthy contracts they offer.
This sentiment is echoed by many club fans, who believe a transfer ban might be the only solution to halt Chelsea's spending spree.
According to a report from transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Portuguese forward, Felix is expected to travel to London to undergo a medical before signing a six-year deal with Chelsea.
