Arsenal fans sent into transfer frenzy after what Joao Felix did during Manchester United clash

Arsenal fans have urged technical director Edu to try and sign Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix this summer.

The Gunners are in need of a top-quality striker after allowing exiled former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join Barcelona during the January transfer window.

Fellow forwards Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette are also both into the final five months of their contracts at the Emirates Stadium, with neither appearing likely to commit their future to Mikel Arteta's side.

One centre-forward that has been linked with the club is the aforementioned Felix, who has struggled for consistency since joining Atletico for a whopping £114million back in the summer of 2019.

Still, the Portuguese youngster showcased his undeniable talent during Wednesday night's 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the first leg of their round of 16 UEFA Champions League clash.

The 22-year-old broke the deadlock in the opening exchange with a sublime header that left David de Gea with no chance as a number of Arsenal supporters took to Twitter to heap praise on the talented striker.

@PeteroPitaa : "Joao Felix our eyes are on you, precisely Edu and Arteta."

@Nemo_Gooner : "Remortgage the EMS. I do not care. Do whatever it takes. Get Felix to the carpet Arsenal."
