Joao Felix transfer hint
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has dropped a huge hint over the future of striker Joao Felix amid links with a move to Arsenal in January. He told reporters: "I hope we can give João some serenity, joy to show what he learned at the World Cup — he’s important.
“I only focus on Atleti to win. Our CEO words on Joao’s future? Whatever has to happen, will happen. Here no one is untouchable." It suggests that while the forward may have a way back into the first-team with the Spanish clubs, there are no guarantees over his future there.

Ferran Torres chase
Arsenal were linked with a move for former Manchester City striker Ferran Torres in the summer, but didn't make the switch in time for the Barcelona star. The January transfer window could open up the opportunity once again for the Gunners as they eye another striker option.
That's because transfer expert Dean Jones told GiveMeSport: "They really like Ferran Torres, and they clearly believe he might become available because they inquired about him in the summer as well. So, if they’re sniffing around him again now, they sense that something’s up."
