Wenger Weighs Up De La Red Bid
-
The Premier League side's boss, Arsène Wenger, is keen to sign a midfielder to control the centre of his young team and has list of several names, according to reports in England.
De la Red is included on that despite lacking the experience that the French coach stated he wanted because of the maturity that he showed during an impressive season with Getafe.
At 23, the Spanish international is yet to be given a chance at the Bernabéu after rising through the club's youth team ranks and has tasted international success before anything at club level.
A part of Luis Aragonés' squad for the Euro 2008, De la Red looked calm and composed at the highest level and that is also said to have impressed Wenger.
When asked about what his next step would be if Arsenal made their move, De la Red made it clear that he would not be adverse to trying his luck in England.
“I am not closing the door to any team. I like the Premier League and the way they play their football," he said.
According to reports on Wednesday, Wenger is also monitoring Everton's move for João Moutinho but the Sporting and Benfica star would certainly command a higher fee that De la Red.maybe get someone more experienced like xabi alonso?
