Arsenal send scouts to monitor 21-year-old LaLiga star ahead of potential transfer: Reports

According to a report by Caught Offside via The Boot Room, Arsenal are eyeing a potential move for LaLiga star Alberto Moleiro. The Las Palmas midfielder has been impressive for the Canary Islanders since coming through their youth ranks and has made 124 appearances for his boyhood side.

The Spaniard is one of the most exciting prospects in his nation. His 11 career goals and 13 assists are signs of things to come. Four goals have come this season from his 13 appearances in the Spanish top flight.

Arsenal, however, could face a challenge securing the services of the Tenerife-born midfielder, with Newcastle, Liverpool, and Manchester City keeping tabs on Moleiro from within England. Additionally, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Real Sociedad, Real Betis, Roma, and Villarreal are also hot on the heels of the talented midfielder.

The Gunners are also monitoring other LaLiga youngsters, with Sweden international Williot Swedberg from Celta Vigo and Valencia's Javi Guerra also high on the north London side's list.

"We will be in the fight to lift the Premier League" - David Raya bullish about Arsenal's title challenge despite recent setbacks

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya is bullish about his side's chances at mounting an effective title challenge in the Premier League despite their recent struggles. The north Londoners have won only one of their last five games in all competitions.

The Gunners have been the closest competitors to reigning champions Manchester City in the two previous seasons but have struggled to maintain their momentum in the early stages of this campaign. However, the former Brentford keeper does not believe his team will be out of contention for the title in the business end of the season, telling Mundo Deportivo via FotMob:

"We have shown last year and this season, although we have not started as we would have liked, especially the last two games due to the circumstances of the matches, with very difficult away games with one man less."

"We must not make excuses and we must move forward. We deserved more against Chelsea and Newcastle, but we will continue in the same vein, correcting errors and looking forward with a very good group that we can do anything. We will be in the fight to lift the Premier League."

Arsenal currently sit in fourth place on the Premier League table, nine points behind current leaders Liverpool. The Gunners' next three league matches are against Nottingham Forest (Nov 23), West Ham United (Nov 30), and Manchester United (Dec 5).
