Álex Baena was revealed as Tottenham’s “dream” January addition.

If Tottenham wants to push for a top-four finish in the second season,

they have work to do in the January transfer window.

 

According to a report from Fichajes,

Tottenham have identified Villarreal’s Álex Baena as a “dream”

signing for the upcoming January transfer window.

 

With five assists in La Liga this season,

the 23-year-old Spain international,

who can play both centrally and out wide,

has been the Yellow Submarine’s main playmaker

off the left as they attempt to finish in the top four and

are presently fourth in the standings.

 

Baena’s €2 million-per-year Villarreal deal,

which expires in June 2028, has a €60 million release clause.

This season, Baena has become a left-sided playmaker, which suggests that Spurs may be looking to trade for their captain soon.

After all, Son will turn 33 next summer, and even if one were to speculate that he might stay with Spurs for a bit longer and perhaps even take up central positions rather than the ones out wide, Spurs would still have a left spot available.
