Arsenal and Tottenham on red alert as Getafe star nears exit door
By talkSPORT | Tuesday, April 9, 2013
Barrada, 23, has been attracting interest from a number of clubs in Europe but reports in Spain claim Arsenal and Tottenham are leading the chase to clinch his signature.
The Morocco international has been one of the star performers for Getafe and the club are desperate to keep him.
But Barrada says he has always dreamed of playing in the Champions League and wants to show he can compete at the highest level.
Barrada, speaking in Spanish newspaper AS, said: "I would love the chance to play for a big club and to play in the Champions League.
"That is the dream of any footballer and I want to play at the highest level.
Same guy we were chasing last summer, and have noticed him popping up on blogs saying he has improved a lot, and is generally hitting form. Has been looked at by Real Madrid, City, and Southampton, they've got an eye for a player IMO. What do people think? Plays in an advanced position, but actually contributes defensively as the picture suggests above.
