João Felix is one of the hottest prospects in world football right but his club coach has insisted that the teenager isn’t getting carried away by the hype.

The teenage striker only made his Benfica debut last August but has gone on to become one of their most important players this term.

Felix has netted seven goals in 14 appearances and has been heavily linked with moves to both Real Madrid and Manchester United.

A fee of €100m has been talked about in some quarters, but Bruno Lage, his boss at the Lisbon club, has claimed his player isn’t focusing on rumours of a move.

“Joao is a youngster with a lot of potential,” he is quoted as saying by Bleacher Reports.

“There is a lot of talk about him with respect to many things, but I only like to refer to what he does on the pitch and not what he can do away from it.

“If you know him, he’s a youngster that has his feet firmly on the ground. He deals with everything that is going on with total calm.”
