Sevilla and Spain striker Alvaro Negredo has confessed he would love to move to England, leading to speculation he could be set for a move to Arsenal, Spurs or Newcastle.
The striker recently gave in interview in which he expressed his enthusiasm for playing in the Premier League.
‘The Premier League is a great competition, I really like it and I think my style of football would be well-suited to it,’
‘There comes a time when a cycle comes to an end and I don’t know whether my time will be sooner or later. I haven’t thought about it a lot but I wouldn’t mind playing abroad.’
‘I’ve spoken to the guys playing in England, mainly when we were together at Euro 2012 because we had a lot of free time, I spoke to Mata and Torres and I know they really enjoy it.
Should've spoken to Cazorla, Alvaro.
‘They have a different way of experiencing football over there compared with Spain. The players say it is easier to go out and about there. Here, it is quite difficult to leave the house but they say there is not as much scrutiny in England, and I like that.’
Sevilla have financial problems, and this could lead to Negredo leaving for far less than the 18m touted by Sevilla to secure his services.
Something's afoot
What's more, today the president of Sevilla confirmed he was travelling to London to negotiate Negredo's sale. Which club is unknown, but the most likely candidates would be Arsenal or Spurs.
Negredo is similar in style to Giroud, and in Spur's case Adebayor, but he has a good goalscoring record and would be a fine addition to most top-six squads.
Arsenal haven't been linked a lot, but there could be a surprise afoot.
