Arsenal fans sent into transfer frenzy as Joao Felix spotted in London amid Atletico exit links

Arsenal fans have made the same point reported transfer target Joao Felix was spotted in London over the weekend.

The north London outfit are in search of a top-class centre-forward after allowing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join La Liga giants Barcelona during the January window, with Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette also into the final five months of their contracts at the club.

Real Sociedad star Alexander Isak and Lille's Jonathan David are two named that have been consistently linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium after technical director Edu missed out on Dusan Vlahovic, who joined Juventus during the winter window.

And in recent days, Atletico Madrid frontman Felix has also been mooted as a potential target, with some reports claiming that Arsenal are keen to sign the Portuguese international at the end of the current campaign.

The 22-year-old was spotted in London over the weekend, attending Liverpool's Carabao Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday afternoon, a match that the Reds won 11-10 on penalties following a 0-0 draw across normal and extra time.

@RooterArsenal: "Joao Felix spotted at Carabao Cup final among Liverpool fans amid Arsenal transfer rumours."

@27AmateurAuteur: "Is he looking in the direction of Emirates? This statuesque pose a suggestion that he'd like to be commemorated someday like Henry outside the Emirates? Anyway... Felix to Arsenal is more or less confirmed by this."

@nazrisg: "Felix in London (soon emoji) Arsenal?"

@AFCRithikk: "JOAO FELIX IN LONDONNNNN."
