Sp**s and Arsenal both monitoring Abdelaziz Barrada

Lokomotiv Moscow have joined Arsenal and Tottenham in the queue to sign Getafe star Abdelaziz Barrada.

talkSPORT told you earlier this season that several English clubs have monitored the Moroccan, including Manchester City and Southampton.

Barrada has seen his reputation grow following his performances in La Liga, and he is now attracting interest from eastern Europe, with Lokomotiv Moscow on his trail.

However, Lokomotiv could struggle to land the 23-year-old as he has previously expressed his desire to play in the Champions League - and the Russian side are languishing in mid-table in their own domestic league.

In addition to that, the nine-time Morocco international's buyout clause is set at £17m, a fee which could scare off the Russian club.

Looks an interesting prospect - I've got lots of time for a 6'1" well-built midfielder who can dribble and shoot, like Zizou and C. Ronaldo.

He looks like Nasri plus Il Fenomeno!

Rate him very highly, think I even posted his name in the wish list thread, we've been linked in the past as well. Good engine, great technique, strong in the tackle and decent on set pieces. He's never going for 17m though, think if we're seriously in for him we'd get him for less than 10m.

Diaby replacement? Is he an attacking player or a true CM?

More advanced position this season, but for me he's best as a true CM, most teams including Getafe don't have that position anymore, he wouldn't have problems to fit into our three man midfield. Has played on both wings before, he's wasted there though.

He really is kind of similar to Ronaldo and if he has even a fraction of his talent get him here at once! :)

17m release clause = no frakking way.

That doesn't mean that's the price he will go for.

Realise that & I haven't heard enough of him to suggest he's worth the time & effort to try to talk them down.

looking at those characteristics I'm guessing he's being considered for a wide man to suit Giroud.

I've read that he's been played out wide but it doesn't suit him, and he's better in the center.

He could be a legitimate B2B option as the profile I posted indicated that he had strong defence which would be an improvement on a fit Diaby.
But even so that release clause raises massive questions as he mainly plays as AMC.
