Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have been alerted to the availability of the 'next Cristiano Ronaldo', with Diego Simeone having reportedly changed his stance on the Atletico Madrid striker Joao Felix. The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League again, and Antonio Conte seems to have leverage over Mikel Arteta.
Felix was considered untouchable by the Spanish giants earlier this season, but the Argentinian seems to have had a change of heart. And, with the north London rivals both in the market for candidates to bolster their respective frontlines, the Portugal international has emerged as an exciting option.
"Joao Felix meets what the team needs, Simeone said. "We have a way of working with the forwards. He’s doing very well, he’s happy, enthusiastic and it’s very important on an individual level so that he can later move on to the collective, which is what matters."
