Transfer: Aston Villa To Sign Felix From Chelsea

Aston Villa are interested in signing Joao Felix from Chelsea before the end of the January transfer window.

According to RMC Sport, Aston Villa are now in direct negotiations with Chelsea over a deal for Felix this month.

Aston Villa manager, Unai Emery, is a huge admirer of the Portugal international but the playmaker has attracted interest from other clubs around Europe.

Emerys side were keen on signing Felix last summer before losing out to Chelsea.

Felix joined Chelsea in a 46.3 million deal from Atletico Madrid last summer.
