Arsenal could pounce on the potential signing of Joao Felix in the upcoming January transfer window. But for the Gunners to stand any chance, Mikel Arteta’s side must be in a strong position to finish in the Champions League places ahead of next season, which is already the case as the north London side leads the league table by five points.
The Gunners finished the summer transfer window with just Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah as the forward options going into the season. A lot of pressure has been placed on both forwards with a heavy fixture schedule due to the Europa League, and this will continue after the new year as Arsenal progressed to the knockout rounds.
However, this could be eased in January with the arrival of Felix. And the Gunners have been given a boost in securing his signature as Edu has a chance to offer a six-month audition before eventually deciding to complete a full transfer.
