Villarreal have started the season relatively well, although their form had dipped in the weeks leading up to the winter break. With their sights set on finishing in the Champions League places, they will look to the transfer market in January in their bid to give themselves an extra boost for the rest of the season.
According to Marca, Villarreal are looking to bring in a new striker as they have lost Ilias Akhomach for the rest of the season following his cruciate ligament injury. In concrete terms, they want a winger who can also play as a striker – Goncalo Guedes was wanted, but Wolves no longer want to let him leave.
It will be loans that Villarreal are looking at, and another possible addition could be Rafa Marin, who has had minutes problems at Napoli since his arrival from Real Madrid last summer. Adding him to Marcelino Garcia Toral's roster would also be useful for the Yellow Submarine.
