Joao Felix has attracted the interest of both Chelsea and Arsenal as Atletico Madrid seem set to consider bids to sell their record signing. Felix completed a £113million transfer to Atletico in 2019 from Benfica but has struggled for form and thus significant game time.
Alongside the two London clubs, Aston Villa are also in the race to sign Felix according to a report from Marca. The Spanish outlet claim that Felix is "destined to leave" Atletico with the January transfer window on the horizon, and Villa have emerged as a shock candidate to secure the signing of the player in the near future.
The report also claims Villa are "negotiating" a transfer which would likely place them in pole position to acquire the services of Felix. However, following the knee injury and subsequent surgery inflicted on Gabriel Jesus, Mikel Arteta and Edu could look to bolster their attacking depth by signing the 23-year-old.
