Chelsea ace Joao Felix is winning off the pitch with a stunning Colombian model as his on-field form continues to slip and slide.
The Portuguese superstar has struggled to find the net in recent months, but he appears to have finally scored with Valentina Rueda Velez. Felix, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Milan, has been spotted soaking up the summer sun with the stunner.
Valentina, who is a model by trade, earned fame and fortune in her homeland when she appeared on Netflix's dating show Too Hot to Handle last year.
The curvy brunette shared videos of herself with the footballer on social media before they were taken down.
She has over 133,000 followers on the platform - where she offers a glimpse of her lavish lifestyle.

Recent snaps show the stunner flaunting her jaw-dropping figure and drop dead gorgeous look from various places across the planet.
There had been reports last October that Valentina was cosying up with fellow Too Hot to Handle star Harry Jowsey when the pair were snapped in an orange car.
The pair had been cosy since August, when they appeared on TikTok's, having never actually crossing paths on the Netflix show.

Felix had reportedly been single since ending his relationship with actress Margarida Corceiro in 2023.
Margarida has since moved on with her on-off relationship with Lando Norris, who she cheered on at the Monaco Grand Prix last month.
On the pitch, Felix has struggled too - and he missed out on Chelsea's Club World Cup squad.
