Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta Orders The Signing Of Joao Felix With Immediate Effect
Arsenal has now “made a move” for Atletico Madrid attacker Joao Felix after Mikel Arteta insisted they try to sign him.
Arteta’s Premier League team is connected to many possible additions and the Gunners are searching for a new winger and striker in the summer.
Alexander Isak of Newcastle United, Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa, Victor Osimhen of Napoli and Brian Brobbey of Ajax are a few of the notable players that Arsenal has already been connected to this summer.
Kai Havertz frequently starts in front of Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus in the central striker position for Arsenal, as manager Arteta seeks to increase the number of goals scored from the forward position.
Former Chelsea striker Felix, who was on loan at rival team Barcelona last season, is attracting Arteta’s attention.
In the summer of 2019, Atletico Madrid paid Benfica €126 million to get the Portugal international but he hasn’t lived up to the hype thus far.
Felix has spent five years with Atletico, spending eighteen months away from the Wanda Metropolitano at Chelsea and then Barcelona.
In 131 games across all competitions, he has only managed 34 goals, reports Football 365.
