- Arsenal are keeping tabs on Spanish playmaker Alex Baena
- The 23 year old has been unstoppable since last season
- Baena can cost Gunners €60 million
Arsenal have been highly tested this season. They have felt the void in midfield and attack due to frequent injuries. This has resulted them in dropping valuable points recently.
Gunners will surely spend big money on their attack next year. Along with striker the Premier League giants will go after another high quality winger and attack minded midfielder. They have already started the process of monitoring the players.
Arsenal keeping close tabs on Alex Baena
As per Football Transfers, Gunners have shown interest in Villarreal star Alex Baena. They even sent scouts to watch the 23 year play for Spain recently. Baena played alongside latest Arsenal signing Mikel Merino against Denmark.
Baena has been unstoppable since last season. He scored 5 goals and picked 17 assists in 45 games last season. The 23 year old has once again started on high note this season. He has scored 1 goal and picked 5 assists in just 11 La Liga matches this season.
Baena will surely add more quality to the Arsenal squad. He is highly versatile which increases his worth. Since last season, he has played as left winger, right winger, attacking midfielder, central midfielder and left midfielder.
Baena is at his best while playing on the left flank. This suggests that he can replace Martinelli from the starting lineup. As of now, Baena is surely an upgrade on Martinelli.
In addition, he can even provide as a quality backup for Martin Odegaard. Odegaard was highly missed recently when he was absent due to injury. Baena has all the traits to cover for him whenever required.
Baena has a €60 million release clause in his current contract. Villarreal will surely demand any interested club to pay the full price. As of now the player fully justifies the price. Infact, he is even worth more if we look at his stats in recent seasons.
