    “He played at the Olympic Games, he played the Copa America and I don’t hear him saying he’s tired.

    “The way he plays it, I just like him. But it is possible [that Arsenal can sign him]? I don’t know.”

    “He left Betis for Villarreal, and he's become desirable for the big teams because he's scored a lot of goals and is playing very well. 

    “Another name is Alexander Sorloth, at the start of the season I thought he was going to be one of the most important strikers in our league,

    “If you dig a little deeper into the search for players who are starting to emerge they're cheaper, so you have to make that decision.

    “Emerging players are cheaper, but you need players that can instantly perform in the Premier League.”
