For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport
Shortly after Chelsea placed on their Instagram page a post announcing the Portuguese forward's departure to Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr, Felix commented: 'Once a blue, always a blue.'
Felix's English clubmate Palmer replied to the comment, saying: 'Good luck in South Africa,' and ended his comment with a heart emoji.

Commenting on the reply of Palmer — who seemingly mistook South Africa for Saudi Arabia — one user wrote: 'What??? He might need some geography lessons.'
Another user added 'Good luck in South Africa,' and included three laughing emoji faces in an obvious attempt to make fun out of Palmer's comment.
A user commented cynically: 'I'm here for Palmer's comment. Where is it?'
Chelsea's post garnered over 330,000 likes and more than 6,200 comments in a couple of hours, but by the time Palmer's comment surfaced in response to Felix's, many users started suggesting that the English attacking midfielder had deleted his post.
One user replied to Felix, saying: 'We shall support you, even in the Saudi League.'
News reports have indicated that Felix has signed with the Saudi club until 2027.
