Reports from Spain indicate that Arsenal is keeping a keen eye on Alvaro Valles, the goalkeeper for Las Palmas, ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. Valles, aged 26, initially honed his skills in the youth ranks of Real Madrid, and now he has caught the attention of not only Arsenal but also Aston Villa and Real Betis.
Valles has been a stalwart for Las Palmas in La Liga this season, having played every minute for the team. Despite Las Palmas currently sitting ninth in the Spanish top-flight, Valles has been instrumental in their performance, surpassing clubs like Villarreal and Sevilla. With 129 appearances for Las Palmas under his belt, Valles’ contract is slated to expire in the summer of 2025.
Despite the buzz surrounding his potential transfer to Arsenal, Villa, or Betis, Valles maintains a composed demeanor regarding his future. He intends to focus on completing the ongoing 2023-24 campaign with Las Palmas before making any decisions.
Arsenal’s interest in securing a new goalkeeper stems from reports suggesting that Aaron Ramsdale might leave the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season. Ramsdale has conceded the No.1 spot to David Raya this season, compounded by a notable error in a match against Brentford. In that game, Raya couldn’t compete due to a loan agreement.
Additionally, Arsenal has been linked with another goalkeeper, Patrick Schulte, who currently plays for Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer. Schulte, aged 23, made a significant impact by helping his team win the 2023 MLS Cup in his debut season. Furthermore, he made his international debut for the United States in January during a friendly match against Slovenia.
