Aston Villa are in direct talks with Chelsea to sign their attacking superstar. The player has just joined the Blues and already has 9 goal involvements this season.
As the January window is heading towards end, the activity in market has gotten very busy. Chelsea are constantly involved in links and this time, they are linked with away moves more than signings. It is mostly due to their vast squad depth.
Aston Villa have joined the race to sign one of Chelsea’s attackers. Unai Emery is keen to add more firepower in his final third. Villa want to finish in top 4 once again this season, but they need a significant change quickly to do so.
Aston Villa in directs talks to sign Chelsea star
According to Fabrice Hawkins, Villa are in direct talks with Blues to sign Joao Felix. The 25 year old moved to West London only in the summer but is quickly linked with an exit.
Fabrizio Romano has now reported that along with Villa, 3 other clubs are also keen to sign Felix. He added that Villa are in talks with Felix’s agent Jorge Mendes. Lastly, Romano said that Unai Emery wants the player but the deal will depend on what Chelsea think.
Felix has been very good since joining Chelsea on permanent deal. He has scored 7 goals and picked 2 assists in 20 games. However, he is not the first choice player for Enzo Maresca. He has started only 3 Premier League games so far.
Felix can be a very good addition to the Villa side. He can very likely become a regularly starter under Unai Emery which may convince him to switch sides. In addition, he can play in Champions League which Chelsea currently lack. However, the Blues will demand a hefty fee as they paid £43 million while signing him in summer.
