Joao Felix was recently in the news, having completed his £113 million move from Benfica to Atletico Madrid. Having been in the limelight for a long time, Felix rose through the ranks of the Portuguese national team, representing them at the under-16, under-19, under-20, under-21, and the senior levels.

Capable of playing as a striker, center forward, and even a winger, Felix made his debut for Benfica in the start of the 2018/19 season and made an unprecedented impact, scoring 15 goals and assisting 7 in 26 league appearances at the club - some incredible stats for a teenager.

With his lanky frame, Felix has incredible technique, stunning dribbling skills, and lots of creativity in his arsenal. If he manages to continue his stunning progress, Joao Felix is sure to become one of the deadliest attackers in La Liga, and a potential Ballon d'Or candidate in the years to come.
