Aston Villa are interested launch bid for £51m winger who Arsenal have been scouting recently

Alex Baena has been observed by Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, but Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are shown more overt interest in the winger.

That is the report from 90min, which also indicated the interest in Baena from two other major Premier League teams.

What information has been released regarding Alex Baena, the target for Arsenal and Villa? Let’s examine this.

Well, 90min claims that Alex Baena, a winger for Villarreal, is a target for Aston Villa and Arsenal.

In addition, Manchester City and Liverpool are expressing interest in the 22-year-old.

According to the source, during the previous 12 months, Villa, Arsenal, Liverpool, and City have all scouted the winger.

Baena’s contract at Villarreal includes a £51 million release clause. He can also play as an offensive midfielder.

Villa “are ready to step up their interest” in Baena, according to 90min, and they may submit a bid for him during the January transfer window.

Former Arsenal manager Unai Emery worked with Baena at Villarreal, and he has already told his

Villa bosses about trying to get a deal done for the Spain international winger.

Aston Villa could beat Arsenal to Baena

In my opinion, Aston Villa has a chance to sign Alex Baena before Arsenal during the January transfer window.

Emery would probably adore it.

First off, Emery, the manager of Villa, is familiar with the winger. He might be able to convince the child to move to Villa Park.

Second, Villarreal and Villa have a good working connection. They did, after all, steal Pau Torres and Emery from the Spanish club.

In order to improve their prospects of placing in the top four of the

Premier League table this season, Villa must, of course, push the boat out for a wide player.

The Villans are playing really well right now, so maybe the club’s owners wouldn’t mind

spending £51 million in January on a 22-year-old if it means they can win the title at the conclusion of the campaign.

This weekend, Arsenal, who play Villa in the Premier League, don’t really need

another winger—especially one as expensive as £51 million—because they have plenty of options on the wings already.

In 13 La Liga games, Baena has one goal and five assists. In five UEFA Europa League

appearances this season, Baena has two goals and one assist.
