Premier League outfit Aston Villa are reportedly considering a move for Chelsea star Joao Felix.

RMC reports that Aston Villa are currently in talks with the Blues over a possible move for the Portuguese international.

Villa boss Unai Emery is said to be a huge admirer of the former Atletico Madrid forward, who wants more playing time at Stamford Bridge.

Reports indicate that Aston Villa attempted to sign the 25-year-old in the summer but lost the bid to Chelsea.

Felix moved to Stamford Bridge in a deal worth £46.3 million from Atletico Madrid.

The former Barcelona loanee has started just three matches in the Premier League this season but has been a regular starter in the Conference League.

He has managed seven goals and two assists across all competitions for the Blues this season.
