Agent: 'English clubs want Nicolas Gaitan'

The agent of Nicolas Gaitan says that his client will "undoubtedly leave" Atletico Madrid in January, and claims that English clubs are in the mix for his signature.

The agent of Nicolas Gaitan has revealed that his client will "undoubtedly leave" Atletico Madrid in January, and has claimed that Premier League clubs are in the mix for the attacker's signature.

Gaitan joined Atletico from Benfica in the summer of 2016, but has struggled to settle in Madrid.

The 29-year-old scored just three times in 23 La Liga appearances last season, and has started just once in the league during the 2017-18 campaign.

Jose Iribarren, who represents Gaitan, has revealed that the attacker will certainly be on the move in the winter transfer window, and has refused to rule out a transfer to England.

"I can tell you English clubs are interested," Iribarren told Foot Mercato. "Yes, he'll undoubtedly leave Atletico in January. He has a lot of concrete offers. Nicolas was an important player when he played in Argentina, at Benfica, and with the national team.

"He can't continue in these conditions. If he can't play a string of matches, nor win the coach's trust... A player wants to play. We're going to see with Atletico which solution we can find.

"We hope to find a club where the player will be happy and will play regularly, Nicolas isn't a player who's happy to play 15 minutes per match. He wants to play every game."

Gaitan had been strongly linked with Manchester United during his time at Benfica.
