Rumoured Manchester United transfer target Joao Felix is 'readily available' to be signed this month, according to an update from transfer expert Dean Jones.

The Lowdown: United keen on Felix

The Portuguese has been linked with a move to Old Trafford numerous times in the past month or so, as Erik ten Hag eyes up attacking signings.

Felix is struggling at Atletico Madrid currently and has not been a regular this season, and a loan move elsewhere this month has been in the offing.

It is a rumour that is refusing to go away, with United one of a number of clubs seemingly in the mix to snap him up.

The Latest: Attacker is 'readily available'

Speaking to Give Me Sport, Jones said that Felix is available to be signed in January, although didn't specify if anyone was the favourite to snap him up:

"He’s readily available for anyone willing to pay the money that it takes to sign him. I don’t think that anybody is going to get Felix with a special option that they get to sign him ahead of anybody else. I think that will be some of the criteria now that is set out."

The Verdict: Worth the money

While Felix's stock has arguably fallen since he won the prestigious European Golden Boy award in 2019, he remains a top-class player with a massive future ahead of him.

United would be silly not to least consider a loan move for the 23-year-old until the end of the season, with the attacker a match-winner on his day who has been hailed as 'special' by Alvaro Morata.

Admittedly, Felix isn't the central striker that United crave currently - they could sign that type of player as well - but when a player of his calibre is available, you should take a punt on him.
