We’ve now reached the point where Arsenal have to be considered a serious title challenger in the Premier League, with Mikel Arteta turning things around in spectacular fashion at the Emirates in the space of a year.
Their summer signings have all clicked nicely, and the Gunners are playing some great football, recently beating Liverpool 3-2.
The likes of Martin Ødegaard and Gabriel Martinelli are shining under the Spaniard’s tutelage, and this has made Arsenal a potential destination for players who might not have been interested in the past.
One of those could be Joao Felix, who is currently undergoing a tough time at Atlético Madrid, starting just one of the last four La Liga games, leading many to believe he could be off in the near future.
Fichajes.net look at where he could land, with Arsenal mentioned, where the staff ‘would be willing to make a hole in their squad’ for him.
It’s said the Gunners want ‘more gunpowder in attack’, and the way Arteta has his men playing ‘would be much more in line with how the Portuguese plays than the one’ Simeone has implemented at Atlético.
In fact, they see Arsenal as ‘the best option’ for Felix from a purely sporting point of view, but it’s then added the Gunners ‘would not be in a position to make a huge offer for him’, unlike others who could be also keen.
Something to keep an eye on.
