Arsenal Set to Secure £50m Deal for Next Santi Cazorla

Arsenal are reportedly on the verge of signing Las Palmas midfielder Alberto Moleiro in a £50 million deal. The 21-year-old Spanish talent is drawing comparisons to former Gunners fan favorite Santi Cazorla.

According to reports from Spain, Arsenal have reached an “agreement in principle” to trigger Moleiro’s £50m release clause. The young playmaker possesses many of the same qualities that made Cazorla such a popular figure at the Emirates Stadium.

Like Cazorla, Moleiro is known for his exceptional dribbling ability, close control, and vision. He can operate centrally or out wide, using his agility and technical skills to beat defenders. Spanish football expert Neal Gardner describes Moleiro as an “agile, electric” talent and “an excellent dribbler.”

While his statistics are not yet eye-popping, Moleiro’s potential is clear. This season he has scored 4 goals for Las Palmas, building on last year’s tally of 4 goals and 4 assists. He ranks in the top 17% of La Liga midfielders for attempted take-ons and the top 14% for pass completion at 82.5%.

At £50m, it would be a significant investment in a young prospect. However, Moleiro already has top-flight experience at a tender age and has drawn rave reviews from Spanish football observers. If he can develop into a player of Cazorla’s caliber, it could prove excellent business for Arsenal in the long run.

The potential arrival of Moleiro would provide Arsenal with another creative midfield option as they look to build a squad capable of competing for major honors. His flair and technical ability could make him the heir to Cazorla’s legacy of magic in the Gunners midfield.
