Joao previously spent time on loan at Stamford Bridge, joining in the winter window and finishing the 2022/23 season in Chelsea blue, scoring four times in 20 appearances. The Portuguese international can operate in several positions and adds attacking versatility and depth to manager Enzo Maresca's forward options.
