Arsenal and Man Utd in final talks for Joao Felix?
Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly in final talks to sign Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix this winter.
The Portuguese has struggled for consistent game time under Diego Simeone this term and he has now decided to move on.
Paris Saint-Germain were initially deemed as favourites to land his signature, but they are no longer in the running for him.
Instead, Le 10 Sport claim that Arsenal and United are front-runners and they are now in the final phase to land his services.
Both clubs are in constant dialogue with his agent Jorge Mendes and the forward could be Premier League bound in January.
Arsenal need a new striker after Gabriel Jesus' injury. On the other hand, United are eyeing a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Both teams have done business with Mendes in the past and it could come to which club is prepared to guarantee Felix regular minutes.
The Gunners look better placed to sign him next month.
