Joao Felix 'isn't keen on a move to Birmingham' despite his agent Jorge Mendes 'pushing for him' to join Aston Villa.

There is considerable interest in the Atletico Madrid and Portugal forward from Premier League clubs, with Arsenal reportedly leading the chase ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United.
