Arsenal who have already several Spanish starts in their squad are eyeing to wrap another deal in the summer, however the player is set to stay, as per Valencia boss Nuno.
Real Madrid have also been keeping tabs on the player who is currently having an impressive season.
Valencia manager Nuno told AS that Gaya is focusing on Valencia, he is happy and has no plans to leave.
“All of the players who are in the process of renewing terms are focused on the work we’re doing and are happy here at Valencia.”
Nuno further added indirectly that Gaya is likely to be offered a new deal and he is confident that he will sign it.
“They’re putting their body and soul into a project which is growing and requires the help of everyone at the club.”
Valecina have always produced fine full-backs, Jordi Alba is one of its example who is now a regular for Barcelona. Gaya who has started 21 La Liga games so far this season is tipped to be the next star full-back.
The 19-year-old played a great part in yesterday’s La Liga game against Cordoba.
