Joao Felix to Chelsea transfer: Verbal agreement, Man Utd decision, Arsenal blow, Atletico move

Atletico Madrid frontman Joao Felix continues to be linked with a January transfer, with both Chelsea and Arsenal eyeing a move.

Felix has struggled to live up to the £113million price tag that Atletico paid for him back in the summer of 2019, netting just 34 times in 130 appearances for the La Liga giants. Now, the 23-year-old is available on loan after allegedly falling out with Atletico head coach Diego Simeone.

A move to the Premier League is on the cards for the Portuguese international, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all mooted as potential destinations for the talented forward. The Gunners could certainly be tempted by a move for Felix considering starting no.9 Gabriel Jesus is currently sidelined following his knee injury, while the Blues are looking for big improvements with their season in jeopardy.
