Aston Villa have expressed interest in signing Chelsea's Joao Felix on loan before the transfer window closes. While Felix has made limited Premier League starts under Enzo Maresca, his seven goals in 20 appearances this season highlight his attacking potential. Villa, however, face a dilemma as they’ve already agreed terms with Axel Disasi, with loan regulations allowing only one addition. The decision hinges on their immediate needs, particularly at center-back, after injuries to key defenders.
- Villa's Interest in Felix: Joao Felix has emerged as a loan target for Unai Emery’s side.
- Chelsea's Openness: Chelsea are willing to entertain offers for Felix, who signed a long-term deal with the Blues in the summer.
- Villa's Loan Limitation: Villa can only loan either Felix or Axel Disasi due to current regulations.
- Defensive Needs: With injuries to Tyrone Mings and Pau Torres, Axel Disasi may be prioritized for defensive reinforcements.
- Felix's Season: The 25-year-old has scored seven goals and provided two assists in 20 appearances but has started just three league games.
- Villa's Transfer Moves: Villa have already signed Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia this month, bolstering their squad.
