Javi Guerra could be a superb signing

Guerra has done quite well for the Spanish outfit, and he has the physicality and technical attributes to succeed in English football as well. He will add control, composure, and defensive cover in the middle of the park. His ability to control the game, recycle possession, open up opportunities with his passing and his ball-winning capabilities make him a complete midfielder.

Manchester United need someone like him, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay the asking price. The 23-year-old has four goals and six assists in La Liga this season.

Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is an admirer of the disciplined Valencia midfielder. Both clubs have the financial resources to pay €40 million for the player, and Guerra could easily justify the investment in future.

The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be exciting for the player. The Spaniard will look to test himself at the highest level, and regular football in England could bring out the best in him.
