Arsenal 'want' Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster attacking options... but Gunners will need to pay close to £120m as La Liga giants look to recoup initial fee

Arsenal are said to be interested in Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix, as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his attacking options in the next transfer window.

The Gunners will be looking to recruit a striker following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's sale to Barcelona, and the potential outgoings of Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette in the summer.

Felix, who has three goals and three assists in La Liga this season, could be a potential option for Arteta but the Gunners may be forced to splash out.
