Aston Villa and Unai Emery are in a Premier League title chase and are looking to strengthen their squad in January. Theyve been linked to Villarreals Alex Baena, a talented left-sided 8. We first scouted Baena in April 2023 and immediately graded him via our TIPPSTER model as being able to have a big impact at Tier 1 level.
Who is Alex Baena?
Alex Baena is a midfielder who normally plays as an 8 on the left-side of the pitch, offering vertical, direct and quick passes, normally looking to be progressive, but with a great intelligence on each execution and off-the-ball movement to receive. He has the talent, energy and technical capacities to keep playing on top sides of Europe, and even in the short-term in the Premier League.
