Joao Felix has already sent Tottenham six-word transfer message as Antonio Conte plots £69m swap

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have been alerted to the availability of Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix, with Diego Simeone having reportedly changed his stance on the striker. The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League again recently, and Antonio Conte seems to have leverage over Mikel Arteta.
