Transfer Talk: Arsenal, Spurs circling Barrenetxea
Posted Friday, January 19, 2024 by ESPN
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are both interested in a move for Real Sociedad winger Ander Barrenetxea, reports The Sun.
The north London clubs have both been scouting the 22-year-old through November and December, but he was then out because of an ankle injury for three weeks.
The Spaniard returned to action 10 days ago and scouts from the two Premier League sides watched him during the Basque derby against Real Betis, when he played just over an hour in a 0-0 draw.
Arsenal rate Barrenetxea as a top option and see him as somebody who can provide competition for Gabriel Martinelli and the other wingers at the club.
Meanwhile, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou is desperate to add somebody to his injury-hit front line. Postecoglou has given the go-ahead to push for a deal.
Barrenetxea has played 22 matches across all competitions this season, scoring four goals and assisting another two. Both clubs value the fact that he can play on either wing as well as centrally.
