Joao Felix: Aston Villa Set to Make Late Move for Portuguese Star
Aston Villa Keen to Bolster Attack with Talented Forward
A Deadline Day Move on the Cards?
Aston Villa are reportedly keen on making a late move for Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix before the transfer window closes on February 1.
The Portuguese international has struggled to make a consistent impact at the Spanish club and is believed to be open to a move away.
Villa manager Unai Emery is a known admirer of Felix and is said to be keen on adding the 23-year-old to his squad.
Felix's Impressive Track Record
- Scored 20 goals in 43 appearances for Benfica before joining Atletico Madrid in 2019
- Won the Primeira Liga title and the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira with Benfica
- Represented Portugal at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, where he was named the tournament's Best Player
Felix is regarded as one of the most promising young forwards in Europe and would be a significant coup for Aston Villa.
Villa's Need for a Striker
Villa have struggled for goals this season, scoring just 24 in 20 Premier League games.
The addition of Felix would provide them with a much-needed cutting edge in attack.
Felix is a versatile forward who can play as a central striker or in a wide attacking role, making him a valuable asset to Emery's team.
A Deadline Day Decision?
With the transfer window set to close on February 1, it remains to be seen whether Aston Villa will be able to complete a deal for Felix.
Atletico Madrid are reportedly reluctant to sell the player, but a substantial offer could tempt them to part ways with him.
If Villa can pull off the signing of Felix, it would be a major statement of intent and a clear indication of their ambition to compete for a top-half finish in the Premier League.
