Atletico Madrid president breaks silence on Joao Felix's future amid Arsenal transfer links

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has spoken about the future of Arsenal transfer target Joao Felix.

The Gunners added Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus to their attack last summer, bringing in the former Manchester City star for north of £45 million. Jesus was an instant hit at the Emirates Stadium, netting five times and providing a further five assists in his first 14 Premier League outings for Mikel Arteta's side.

However, the 25-year-old suffered a knee injury during the Selecao's World Cup campaign in Qatar, leaving Arteta with Eddie Nketiah as his only recognised centre-forward at this moment in time. That has resulted in Arsenal being linked to a number of forwards in recent times, including Atletico frontman Felix - who is said to be available for a loan move during the January transfer window.
