Alex Baena speaks about his future amidst Arsenal interest
Firstly, Arsenal are amongst the many clubs keen to sign the Spaniard. Gunners need more quality in final third. They have lacked creativity and have been overly dependent on Saka and Odegaard. Baena seems like a perfect player to solve that problem.
Baena said that he will prefer to join top club in future. His aim is to win major trophies. But, he also loves playing for Villarreal and has no intention to leave them just yet. Hence, we may expect a summer move instead of January move.
“I’ve always said that, to leave Villarreal, it has to be a better team. And, for me, that has to be 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” – Baena speaking to Onda Cero.
Moving to Premier League and playing for Arsenal will be a big step up in Baena’s career. The deal will also benefit Gunners as they will get more quality and creativity due to addition of Baena. It will be interesting to see if Gunners step up their interest and submit an official bid to Villarreal.
