Portugal star Joao Felix is being offered to Premier League clubs as he seeks an escape route from Atletico Madrid in January.
The attacker is thought to be available for transfer next month after struggling to show his huge talent regularly under boss Diego Simeone, and his representatives are keen to generate a market for their client in England.
Any transfer will be handled by the powerful Gestifute agency run by Jorge Mendes, who has strong links to a number of English clubs.
