Joao Felix's preferred Premier League team as Arsenal make him a top transfer target

Arsenal are expected to nudge ahead of Manchester United in the race for Joao Felix, with the Gunners poised to 'step up their interest' in the Atletico Madrid forward in the coming days.

Both Arsenal and United have been touted as potential destinations for Felix, whose relationship with Atletico boss Diego Simeone has deteriorated in recent months. As a result, the Portuguese forward, 23, is expected to leave the LaLiga giants on loan in the winter transfer window.

Atletico are believed to demanding a £16million package for Felix, consisting of a £13m loan fee and his £3m wages. And while that is currently too rich for Manchester United, it has not deterred Arsenal, who are determined to acquire attacking reinforcements in January.
