Joao Felix wants to leave Atletico Madrid during the winter transfer window. And Arsenal has now joined Chelsea in the race to sign the Portugal international. Joao has struggled at Wanda Metropolitano since joining the club in a club-record move.
Felix appears dissatisfied with the situation at the Spanish club, believing that he plays no significant role or importance on the team.
The 22-year-old winger has requested that his agent, Jorge Mendes, find him a new club for the winter. The Portuguese attacker is wanted by both Chelsea and Arsenal, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Chelsea are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements, and the Portuguese could be a good long-term investment. During the summer transfer window, the Blues made an investment in Aubameyang. However, the former Arsenal captain is 33 years old and deteriorating with age.
Joao would be a good long-term signing for Chelsea, and the club has the funds to make the move. Meanwhile, the Gunners are thriving under the Spanish manager, and they currently sit atop the Premier League table.
Arsenal may look to strengthen their squad during the winter transfer window, and Joao has been mentioned as a potential target.
Felix would be given regular playing time at the North London club, and the Gunners could assist him in reaching his full potential.
