Arsenal could explore a double move for Las Palmas’s talented duo Alberto Moleiro and Mika Marmol ahead of the summer window.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal have set sights on Las Palmas’s talented duo Alberto Moleiro and Mika Marmol ahead of the summer. The relegation-threatened La Liga club could go down at the end of the campaign, which could make it easier for many of their stars including the talented duo to depart.
Arsenal are preparing for a big summer window ahead, as Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta have significant plans to bring many players in. Apart from signing some established professionals to immediately start, the Gunners are also looking to improve their squad depth in several positions.
For instance, they have reportedly sealed a move for Martin Zubimendi and closing in on Viktor Gyokeres, as these are players who could immediately start for Arsenal. However, they do lack depth in some key areas as a defender and an attacking midfielder could be part of their plans.
Arsenal are now linked with a double move for Las Palmas’s talented duo Alberto Moleiro and Mika Marmol. The former is a versatile attacker, mostly playing in the creative midfield role, while the latter is a versatile defender, as Arteta usually tends to like these profiles.
Arsenal were linked with Moleiro while there are other Premier League sides keen. Las Palmas being on the brink of relegation could weaken their power in holding on to the talented duo. Hence, the Gunners could see a way to sign the talented duo from the relegation-threatened La Liga club.
Why are Arsenal interested in Mika Marmol?
Arsenal are expected to sign a new centre-back following links with Dean Huijsen, who is now inching closer to joining Real Madrid. The Gunners were linked with Valencia’s Cristhian Mosquera, although that link may not be the same as the story linking them with Marmol. The Las Palmas star is a left-footed defender who can play centrally as well as a left-back.
Arsenal are about to lose Kieran Tierney on a free transfer, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is expected to depart in the summer. Myles Lewis-Skelly, their current starting left-back is seen as a future midfielder, which makes sense of these links with Marmol. Whether he’s the optimal target for Arteta remains the question, but he’s certainly someone who could add to the depth of the position despite his relegation form this season.
