Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has labelled Joao Felix as a ‘super talent’ amid links with Arsenal. The Portuguese playmaker has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium since the January transfer window.
It was reported that the Atletico Madrid star was under consideration in north London, with the club considering their options in attack. Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are both out of contract at the end of the current season, leaving a potential vacancy in the Arsenal forward line.
Whilst a deal for Felix would be pricey - the former Benfica man having been purchased by his current employers for £113m - it is clear that Ferdinand is a big fan of his talents having watched him at close quarters in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. The Portuguese started against Manchester United in the second-leg of their round of 16 tie.
