Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United vying for world-class bargain for £8m in January transfer window

Arsenal and Chelsea could land Atletico Madrid striker Joao Felix for just £8million this January amid links with a move for the striker in the coming weeks. The 23-year-old looks set to make an exit from the Spanish giants after a difficult run at the club since his big-money move from Benfica.

The Gunners are in the market for a potential striker option in January, following a knee injury to Gabriel Jesus that is set to keep him out for a few months. Manager Mikel Arteta hinted at a move to replace the Brazilian in the window: "He’s [Jesus] going through surgery so that tells you the extent of the injury…We will be in the market always active and we will assess the biggest opportunities that we have."

Felix is linked as one of the options for the Gunners to solve that issue, but they aren't the only side interested as London rivals Chelsea are also in the picture. The Blues are also in the market for a striker as Armando Broja is set to miss the rest of the season with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.
