REVEALED: Pep and Poch rejected Barcelona star Felix

Premier League managers Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino agreed regarding Barcelona loan star Joao Felix.

The Portuguese forward, who is on loan at Barca from Atletico Madrid this season, is impressing with the Catalan giants.

Per football.london, Pochettino had the chance to sign Felix for Chelsea in the summer.

However, the attacker was deemed not good enough, despite a decent loan spell at the club during the second half of last season.

AS in Spain adds that Guardiola also had the chance to bring Felix to City, but chose not to do so.

The attacker has flattered to deceive for much of his young career, but may be finding his feet at Barca.
