OFFICIAL: Villarreal go for Kaares

Villarreal CF

The Villarreal keeps looking to the international market for young talent and has already sealed a new bet for the future. The yellow club has announced the signing of Andero Kaares, an 17-year-old Estonian striker who arrives from FC Flora of Tallinn, one of the clubs with the richest tradition in Estonia.

Despite his youth, Kaares has already made the jump to professional football. Over the last season, he played 13 matches in the Meistriliiga, the top tier of Estonian football, in which he registered 2 goals and 2 assists. He also accumulated minutes in the Estonian Cup, completing a campaign in which he began to carve out a place in Flora's first team.

Standing at close to 1.90 metres, the new Villarreal striker stands out for a profile that combines physical power and mobility. While his build suggests a classic reference forward, his game goes far beyond finishing. He is a right-footed attacker with good acceleration, capable of attacking spaces, dropping out to the flanks and taking part in the build-up. He controls the ball well under pressure and knows how to find advantages between the lines. He also offers a good aerial game, both through his finishing ability and his ability to hold up the ball, although he still has room to become more forceful in physical duels against more experienced defenders.

At international level, Kaares has also left very good impressions. He was captain of Estonia at the Under-17 European Championship, a tournament in which he played a leading role both for his leadership and his output. That international experience has reinforced the image of a player with personality and the ability to take on responsibilities from a very young age.

At Villarreal, they believe he is a forward with very high potential and the club will decide what the best path will be for his development. At just 17 years old, he has already shown that he can compete among professionals and everything points to the fact that his ceiling is still a long way off.
