With 150 appearances for Real Sociedad since making his debut at the age of 16 in December 2018, Barnetxia has become a key player for the La Liga club. Despite a modest number of goals and assists, the young talent is highly regarded in European football circles and shows promise for the future.

Arsenal, in particular, could benefit from strengthening their wide options, and the potential long-term acquisition of Barrenetxea would provide valuable depth. The Gunners already have quality wingers in Gabriel Martinelli and Bucayo Saga, but the addition of Barenetxia would give Mikel Arteta much-needed rotation options.
The San Sebastian native’s rise from the youth ranks of Real Sociedad to being a regular starter in the first team demonstrates his growth at the club. His impressive performances did not go unnoticed when scouts from both Arsenal and Tottenham watched Barenetxia in action in November and December. Furthermore, the recent Basque derby against Athletic Club gave Arsenal another opportunity to assess the winger’s qualities.
Ander Barenetxia’s potential move to the English Premier League could mark a significant step in his career, with Arsenal looking to beat off competition from Tottenham to secure the services of the rising star.
