Arsenal Eyeing Las Palmas Star for Summer Transfer
Arsenal is keeping a close eye on Las Palmas goalkeeper Alvaro Valles as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the summer transfer window. The 26-year-old, who began his career in the Real Madrid youth ranks, has caught the attention of the Gunners, as well as English side Aston Villa and La Liga club Real Betis.
Valles has been a key player for Las Palmas this season, playing every minute in La Liga and helping the team secure a ninth-place position in the Spanish top-flight. With a total of 129 appearances for Las Palmas under his belt, Valles’ contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025.
Despite interest from multiple clubs, Valles remains focused on finishing the current season with Las Palmas before making any decisions about his future. Arsenal’s pursuit of a new goalkeeper comes as reports suggest that Aaron Ramsdale is likely to leave the Emirates at the end of the season.
In addition to Valles, Arsenal has also been linked to Patrick Schulte, a goalkeeper from Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer. The 23-year-old recently helped his team win the 2023 MLS Cup and made his debut for the United States national team in a friendly match against Slovenia in January.
As Mikel Arteta seeks a new back-up option for David Raya, Arsenal’s interest in Valles and Schulte highlights their commitment to strengthening their squad for the upcoming season. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if these potential transfers come to fruition and how they will impact the team’s performance in the future.
