Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham are interested in acquiring the services of Villarreal attacking sensation Alex Baena.
According to a report from Fichajes, Tottenham are looking to add more creativity in the final third of the pitch and they are interested in the services of Alex Baena who has been doing wonders for Villarreal in La Liga.
Baena prefers playing out wide on the left flank as a winger but he can play as a number ten as well as in a midfield role on either flank. His versatility along with his impressive rise at Villarreal have put him on the wishlist of quite a few top clubs across Europe.
The 23-year-old has had an impressive start to the new season as he contributed towards six goals (1 goal, 5 assists) in his 11 league outings. The Spanish attacker has grown in stature over the last 18 months and he looks set for a bigger challenge away from his childhood club.
Tottenham to push for the €60 million sensation
Baena’s contract at Villarreal runs until the summer of 2028 and he is protected by a massive €60 million release clause. However, there are still high chances of him leaving the club in the upcoming transfer window as Tottenham are preparing to launch an assault on the La Liga outfit.
The North London club have had a mixed start to the 2024/25 season and they are looking at the winter window as an opportunity to further bolster their squad. Ange Postecoglou seeks more creativity and he feels Baena could be a great signing for them as he can cover for both James Maddison as well as Son Heung-min.
The 23-year-old’s performances have caught the attention of the English clubs’ scouts and they will try to sign him in the winter. While there is a massive release clause in his deal, Spurs are looking to table a massive offer. Villarreal could agree to a transfer as it will mean a substantial financial boost for them as a club.
Tottenham are making their moves to acquire his services and they do look well placed but they will have to face a significant amount of competition for his signature.
