The London club, which did not start the new season very successfully, began to look for reinforcements. It is announced that former English champions are targeting attacking leader Diego Forlan.
"I heard that there is interest, and Arsenal scouts came to watch me," said the 26-year-old Uruguayan. "I don't know what is being announced, but there was contact. We have to wait and see how everything will unfold. I like the Premier League and it would be interesting to play there again."
The Uruguayan national team striker has already had the opportunity to play in England - from 2001 to 2004, the footballer wore the team's jersey. However, the years in the Premier League were not very successful, and in over 65 matches, the Uruguayan was only able to score 10 goals.
Nevertheless, after moving to Villarreal in the summer of 2004, the player proved his talent. During his first season, D. Forlan scored 25 goals and became the top scorer in the Spanish league. However, this season is not going as well - in the first 13 matches, the Uruguayan scored 3 goals.
There have been rumors in the media for some time now that two Spanish superclubs, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, are also interested in Forlan's services. Meanwhile, the striker himself admitted that he would be willing to return to England, where he arrived in January 2002 from Independiente for £7.5 million.
