The big-money teen said he could one day sign for Tottenham Hotspur.

Joao Felix has prompted speculation about a future move to Tottenham Hotspur.

The former Benfica sensation has just sealed a £112 million move to Atletico Madrid [The Mirror].

But the 19-year-old has admitted that he may have aspirations to play in the Premier League at some point down the road – and, more specifically, at Tottenham.

During an Ask me Anything on Bleacher Report, Felix said he’d like to test himself in England’s top flight at one point in his career.

Asked for his thoughts on a potential move to Spurs, he added: “Me, to Spurs? [Right] now that’s impossible, but I don’t know, [maybe] one day.”

Here’s how some fans of the North London club reacted to the Atletico star’s comments.

If Tottenham sign Felix, it’s many years down the line.

No doubt many more Spurs fans will be focusing on the present and that could include a double deal for Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon, both of whom are expected to sign for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

The Lilywhites have already broken their transfer record once this summer with a move for Tanguy Ndombele.
