According to multiple reports, Ruben Sanchez Saez is closer than ever to joining Elche, with the teams having reached an agreement. The midfielder, currently with Espanyol is now discussing personal terms, with both parties aiming to wrap up the deal quickly. While nothing is final yet, it is looking increasingly likely that Ruben Sanchez Saez will be a Elche player imminently. Celta Vigo, Vallecano and Charlton have not withdrawn their interest and could still influence the outcome. In season 26/27, Elche are conceding 3.0 goals per game (9 in 3 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Ruben Sanchez Saez would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Speculation continues to connect Espanyol with Issiaka Kamate while no fresh rumours surround Elche.
