Growing belief Blackburn exit ‘was a mistake’ for player – Could make quick return to England
Back in the summer transfer window, we saw quite a saga develop regarding Ben Brereton Diaz’s next destination.
The winger, who’d been drawing big attention at Blackburn Rovers, became a free agent. And among the many clubs who wanted him, he chose Villarreal.
Things haven’t been great for him in Spain, where he has no goals or assists in six appearances so far. And as AS writes a story about his start of season, they claim he had the ‘worst welcome’ he could get.
An opinion piece from Pablo Ortega claims it will soon be known whether ‘it was a mistake’ to leave England for Spain, as Brereton isn’t getting to the level he used to show at Blackburn.
It’s said that since the winger was fully adapted to English football, he should’ve chosen the Premier League, where he was linked to West Ham, as he’s finding the different style in Spain difficult.
Brereton is now expected to ‘turn the situation around’ as he searches for his first contributions to goals in La Liga. Villarreal haven’t been doing great, with two wins in seven games, and that only makes the scenario more difficult.
Ortega writes that if things don’t change, then it’s ‘most likely’ that rumours about an early exit from the Spanish club will show up, and a potential return to England would be ‘the only valuable option’ for the former Blackburn player.
