Arsenal are reportedly eyeing a summer deal for Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix. Mikel Arteta knows his side need a world-class striker at the end of the campaign having failed to replace the goals of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. And the Portugal international would certainly represent an upgrade.

When Arsenal signed Thomas Partey back in the summer transfer window of 2020, big things were expected.
After all, the Ghana international had been a vital asset for Diego Simeone at Atletico - establishing himself as one of the best anchormen in world football.
However, Partey’s time at Arsenal hasn’t yet worked out.
Injuries and inconsistency have held him back, with the 28-year-old often struggling to make his mark in the Premier League.
Therefore, in order to ensure they get something out of his situation, Arsenal could be forgiven for thinking about using him as bait.
Atletico previously re-signed Antoine Griezmann last year and a similar deal could appeal.
