Villarrealov veznjak Alex Baena povezan je s odlaskom iz kluba La Lige u posljednjih nekoliko mjeseci.
The 23-godišnjak se uspostavio kao jedan od najperspektivnijih mladih igrača u španjolskoj ligi, i nije iznenađenje što ga top klubovi žele. Klubovi poput Astona Ville i Arsenala navodno su zainteresirani za osiguranje njegovog potpisa, a veznjak je sada nagovijestio da bi radije pristupio Arsenalu.
The two English clubs scouted the player in action during November, as per TBR Football.
Baena je otkrio u intervjuu za Onda Cero da bi radije pristupio velikom klubu gdje može težiti za velikim trofejima. Međutim, otkrio je svoje divljenje i naklonost prema Villarealu i sugerirao da ne traži izlaz u skorije vrijeme.
Bit će zanimljivo vidjeti hoće li Arsenal odlučiti krenuti po njega u sljedećim mjesecima.
Baena said: “I’ve always said that, to leave Villarreal, it has to be a better team. And, for me, that has to be a top ten team in the world. Villarreal is the club of my life and, if one day that offer comes, we’ll sit down and talk and see what’s best for both of us.”
The Gunners certainly use more quality in the middle of the park, and the 23-year-old will add composure, control and creativity to the side. He has the physicality and technical attributes to thrive in English football.
He is also versatile enough to operate as a winger, an attacking midfielder as well as a central midfielder. He could be a quality long-term addition for the Gunners. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa također treba kreativnog veznjaka poput njega, i bit će zanimljivo vidjeti može li Unai Emery pomoći u postizanju dogovora.
The Spanish manager has coached Baena during his time at Villarreal and the connection with the player could prove to be defining.
