Arsenal interested in signing 21-year-old LaLiga star to provide cover for Martin Odegaard: Reports

Arsenal are reportedly one of the clubs keen on securing the signature of Alberto Moleiro, the highly-rated Las Palmas midfielder. Known for his creative flair and versatility, the 21-year-old has been a standout performer in LaLiga this season, scoring four times in 15 games.

His potential move to the Emirates is seen as a strategic step to provide depth in midfield, particularly as a backup to the Gunners’ captain and talisman, Martin Odegaard.

Moleiro’s playing style aligns well with Arsenal’s tactical philosophy under Mikel Arteta. His ability to operate as a central or wide playmaker could provide Arteta with additional options in matches where squad rotation or injury issues come into play.

Despite being only 21, Moleiro has shown maturity in handling the pace and intensity of top-flight football, making him a valuable long-term prospect.

According to Fichajes.net, the Gunners are keen to fend off competition from other suitors for Moleiro’s signature. Their recent history of successful signings, such as Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, and Declan Rice, demonstrates their ability to integrate young talent into a competitive setup.

With a focus on sustainable squad building, acquiring Moleiro fits Arsenal’s approach of blending youth development with an ambitious pursuit of trophies.

Beyond his technical abilities, Moleiro represents a strategic investment in the team’s future. By adding depth in the creative midfield area, Arsenal aim to maintain momentum across the rigorous Premier League season and European campaigns.

If secured, Moleiro could reinforce Arsenal’s status as a club capable of immediate and sustained success.

Arsenal have emerged as title contenders yet again

The Gunners have been on song over the last couple of seasons. Despite losing out on the Premier League title by the slimmest of margins, they have emerged as a force to be reckoned with.

Taking the cudgels in their hands, the Gunners beat a resurgent-looking Manchester United side 2-0 in the league on Wednesday (December 4). The Red Devils have looked more confident since Ruben Amorim took over but were no match to the Gunners' set-piece tactics.

The win against United came just a few days after their 5-2 win against West Ham United (November 30).

Mikel Arteta's side currently sit on the third spot in the Premier League table and are tied on points with second-placed Chelsea.

The Gunners will travel to Craven Cottage on December 8 to take on Fulham for their next Premier League game.
