Tottenham are not done yet in the market despite signing Kevin Danso from RC Lens on Saturday.

Spurs are trying to sign Axel Disasi꧙ from Chelsea to add to the Austria international in defence, with Cristian Romero still absent and Radu Dragusin now injured as well.

Tottenham are also eyeing Alejandro Garnacho꧒ after being rejected by Bayern Munich No.39 Mathys Tel – although the Manchester United No.17 is also wanted by Chelsea.

Now – however – it has been revealed that Tottenham also asked about signing Joao Felix from Chelsea during discussions regarding Axel Disasi.

TBR Football𝕴 understand Aston Villa believe they could sign Felix after receiving £71m from Al-Nassr for Jhon Duran, while AC Milan are also keen on signing the Chelsea No.14 before the window closes.

🐻However, Tottenham have now entered the race, although Spurs sound unlikely to sign the 25-year-old.

The Telegraph add that Chelsea would prefer to sell the Portuguese forward to a club outside🍌 of the Premier League – the Blues view Aston Villa and Spurs as rivals.

🗹Felix – who Chelsea signed from Atletico Madrid in a deal back in August – has only made three Premier League starts under Enzo Maresca this season, and is understood to want more playing time.

Joao Felix has been tipped to win the Ballon d’Or

♏Felix – who has been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo📖 – is a precocious talent, despite struggling to find much success at Chelsea.

💃After all, there is a reason Atletico Madrid paid £113m to sign him from Benfica at the age of just 19.

Felix has been tipped to win a Ballon d’Or🌞 by his old teammate Stefan Savic, who told Goal: “He is a different player, something that we did not have in the squad.

ꦡ“He has a great future and if he continues like this, I have no doubt that he can be a great player or a Ballon d’Or winner.”
