Joao Felix has struggled to live up to expectations since arriving at Atletico Madrid following a £108million transfer from Benfica in 2019.
Felix signed for Atletico at just 18 years old as one of the hottest talents in Europe, but has struggled to kick on as well as many expected since joining Diego Simeone's side. The transfer raised eyebrows as one of the most exciting attacking talents joined a team renowned for their defensive setup.
Arsenal are just one of many clubs to be linked with a more for the Portugal international with ex-Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand previously speaking on how Felix's talent is being wasted at Atletico. Earlier this year football.london reported that the Gunners were interested in signing the Portugal international, with Mikel Arteta eager to bolster his frontline, but a move never materialised as Gabriel Jesus signed from Manchester City instead.
