Mikel Arteta brushed off the loss of Joao Felix with the Atletico Madrid star set to choose Chelsea over Arsenal.
The Atletico Madrid star has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this month. The two London clubs, as well as Manchester United, are in need of attacking reinforcements and all had expressed an interest in acquiring Felix on loan for the remainder of the campaign.
Atletico had been driving a hard bargain, demanding that any club take on the player's hefty wages and pay a significant loan fee - as well as making a potential commitment towards a permanent deal. Chelsea have opted to do so, leaving Arsenal to look elsewhere for new faces - most notably Mykhaylo Mudryk - but Arteta is focused on improving his current squad.
