Villarreal showing interest in Baston
Villarreal are showing some interest in Swansea striker Borja Baston, according to the SWEP.
Baston has not impressed in his time at Swansea, only scoring one goal in 13 appearances, which is pretty disappointing for a striker.
Baston has been moved down the pecking order in recent games, with Oli McBurnie being chosen over him. Many fans are unhappy with Baston’s effort at times.
It is unknown whether the deal will be a loan deal or permanent at this stage, however a loan deal seems more likely.
This could confirm the Jordan Ayew/Neil Taylor swap deal, as Jordan Ayew can play at both striker and winger positions, and Baston would move to make space for him.
With less than ten hours remaining in this year’s January transfer window, this deal has to be completed tonight, so Baston will most likely not feature in tonight’s match against Southampton.
Neil Taylor will not feature due to a broken cheekbone, as well as the proposed Aston Villa move.
