Watford and Brighton & Hove Albion are set to battle it out in the summer transfer window to try and sign one of ‘the great pearls of Spanish football’.
Both clubs are well known for their ability to identify hidden gems and polish them into brilliant diamonds. Since Todd Boehly acquired Chelsea, Brighton has utilised Chelsea as the biggest money machine in the world, selling all of their young, gifted players to Stamford Bridge for hundreds of millions of dollars in profit.
Watford is home to players such as Yaser Asprilla, a winger from Colombia’s Primera A who was previously unheard of but is currently being observed and liked by Barcelona.
Both teams are now focusing on La Liga, where there is a gem just waiting to be taken, in an attempt to rinse and repeat their profit-making process.
Watford want to sign Arnuncio, commonly known as Arnu, is reportedly being watched by Watford and Brighton, while Real Madrid is reportedly interested in the forward as well, according to Spanish journalist Jorge C. Picon.
Who is Adrian Arnuncio?
Despite his youth, the 16-year-old has made 14 appearances for Real Valladolid’s reserves team but has not yet played for the first team.
Because of his God-given speed and power, he is said to be a good fit for teams that attack quickly. It’s also reported that he walks comfortably on both feet. According to Picon, news of his exploits in his rookie campaign as a professional football player has apparently been distributed around the continent and has caught the interest of half of it.
Arnu now has a meagre €3 million release clause in his contract, but Valladolid has made him a new offer. According to Picon, this agreement would increase the 16-year-old’s pay and provide him the chance to potentially make the first squad. The striker is reportedly open to sticking with Valladolid and views his playing time as his top goal.
In summer 2025, his contract with the club comes to an end.
Adrian Arnuncio would be a big gamble for Watford
