Arsenal told why Joao Felix would prefer Gunners switch over Atletico Madrid amid transfer links

Arsenal have once again been linked with a move for Atletico Madrid striker Joao Felix this summer. The Portugal international has previously been a target for the Gunners, though a switch never materialised.

This summer, however, will likely see Mikel Arteta step up his pursuit of a new centre-forward at the club. Despite Eddie Nketiah ’s new long-term deal, the loss of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the past few months leaves the academy product the only natural option for that role.

While the 23-year-old impressed towards the end of the previous campaign, the lack of goals from the position over the course of the season will provide a concern. That is set to be addressed in the market, with a number of high-profile players linked.
