DBasia.news – This season is a good one for the 28-year-old Argentinian player, Roberto Pereyra with Watford. Pereyra is one of the most accurate midfielders in the Premier League.
He played 21 caps in the Premier League with 6 goals and 1 assist. Besides the solution for scoring the goal from the second line, Pereyra could be the soul of Watford’s performance.
Watford manager Javi Gracia could place him as the center point when countering the attack or doing the quick transition. Pereyra has a good technical skill when dribbling and often creates a direct attack.
In this winter transfer market, his name is associated with some Europe clubs like Napoli, Chelsea, and AS Roma. Napoli and Chelsea’s interests are confirmed by his agent, Sergio Furlan.
“A transfer in January? In the market, you can never say never, but I tend to exclude it almost always. Maxi does not want to leave his team in such a delicate moment, he is focused on Watford, and the club does not want to sell it in the middle of the championship,” Furlan told Calciomercato.
“In these weeks Chelsea have tried for him, it is true, but also without finding a breach. Maxi is a pure ball of Sarri, even if he has never coached him.”
“I talked about it repeatedly with De Laurentiis, it seemed like it was done, but then the Higuain-Juve operation blew up everything, suddenly,” he added.
Chelsea need the additional strength after Cesc Fabregas joined AS Monaco. Pereyra could fulfill the box to box midfielder of Chelsea so N’Golo Kante could play in his best position: defending midfielder.
Pereyra is the attacking midfielder who could play in many positions. He played 13 caps and presented 1 goal with Argentina national team. Besides that, Pereyra also supported River Plate, Udinese, and Juventus.
