Arsenal has reportedly reached an ‘agreement in principle’ to sign Las Palmas forward Alberto Moleiro in a deal valued at £50 million, according to Fichajes. The transfer is expected to be finalized next summer, with Moleiro potentially joining the club for the 2025/26 season.
Mikel Arteta views the 21-year-old Spaniard as a long-term successor to Martin Odegaard and believes his attacking skills could strengthen Arsenal’s offensive lineup.
Moleiro’s performances in La Liga have garnered attention from several top European clubs, but Arsenal seems to be leading the race for his signature.
Nicknamed ‘the next Bernardo Silva,’ Moleiro is known for his versatility in attack, having primarily played as a left winger since his debut for Las Palmas in 2023. His potential move to Arsenal follows earlier interest from the club dating back to 2022, though his standout performances during the 2023/24 season heightened the Gunners’ pursuit.
Despite Arsenal’s apparent commitment to securing Moleiro, questions remain about the club’s transfer strategy. Their cautious spending during the last summer window saw them prioritize defensive and midfield reinforcements rather than investing heavily in a new forward.
They also signed Raheem Sterling on loan from Chelsea on deadline day, though his playing time has been limited to just 146 Premier League minutes this season.
Looking ahead, Arsenal’s transfer activity in January is expected to be minimal unless an exceptional deal emerges. However, sources from GIVEMESPORT suggest that the club may still consider adding an attacker in 2025 if suitable opportunities arise.
While an official announcement regarding Moleiro’s transfer is yet to be made, Fichajes hints that confirmation could come in the next few months. If the deal goes through, Arsenal fans could see the talented forward wearing the club’s jersey and contributing to their attacking play in the near future.
