“He is the best replacement we need to dominate the EPL for a very long time, get him in immediately ” Arsenal legend Ian Wright sends stunning request to Edu and Mikel Arteta as club prepares to sign superstar ahead of summer transfer window.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright has made a bold plea to the club’s management, urging them to swiftly secure a potential superstar addition ahead of the summer transfer window. According to reports originating from Spain, Arsenal is closely monitoring the performance of Alvaro Valles, the 26-year-old goalkeeper for Las Palmas. Valles, who initially developed his talents in Real Madrid’s youth system, has garnered interest not only from Arsenal but also from Aston Villa and Real Betis.
Valles has been a pivotal figure for Las Palmas in La Liga this season, featuring in every minute of their matches. Despite Las Palmas occupying the ninth position in the Spanish top-flight, Valles has played a crucial role in their performances, surpassing teams like Villarreal and Sevilla. Having amassed 129 appearances for Las Palmas, Valles’ current contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025.
Despite the speculation surrounding his potential move to Arsenal, Aston Villa, or Real Betis, Valles remains focused on finishing the ongoing 2023-24 campaign with Las Palmas before considering his options for the future.
Arsenal’s interest in bolstering their goalkeeping department stems from reports suggesting that Aaron Ramsdale may depart the Emirates Stadium at the conclusion of the season. Ramsdale, who has relinquished the No.1 goalkeeper position to David Raya this season, faced criticism following a notable error in a match against Brentford. Raya was unable to feature in that game due to a loan agreement.
Furthermore, Arsenal has been linked with another goalkeeper, Patrick Schulte, currently plying his trade for Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer. Schulte, aged 23, made a significant impact by aiding his team in clinching the 2023 MLS Cup during his debut season. Additionally, he earned his international debut for the United States in January during a friendly encounter against Slovenia.
