The Premier, for Borja Iglesias

Borja Iglesias has had a great season at Betis, fundamental for Manuel Pellegrini, especially in the final stretch of the campaign, when he scored fundamental goals in the final stretch of the Copa del Rey and also in the League. Already 29 years old, the Galician striker renewed his contract a few months ago until 2026. And without much prospect of leaving.

Several English teams have inquired about his situation, including West Ham.

Months after arriving in Heliópolis, the man from Compostela did not start on the scoring side and both he and Betis actually thought of a transfer, or even a low-cost transfer. In a short time, as Pellegrini has done with several other players, his performance and market value have completely changed.
