Benfica linked to Boca Juniors winger

Benfica are being linked to a summer move for Boca Juniors winger Sebastian Villa according to reports coming out of the Argentine press. Benfica's scouts have identified the 22 year old Colombian international as one of its top targets when the summer transfer window opens. Villa joined Boca Juniors in the summer of 2018 from Deportes Tolima and has appeared in 77 games across all competitions for Boca, scoring seven goals while setting up fourteen. Villa can play both right and left wing and can be used in the midfield if required. The club with Jorge Jesus at the helm continues to look to South America to bolster their squad, over looking players in the Portuguese league and its own Seixal academy, a formula that has not worked out well to date.
