Report: Arsenal ready to pounce for versatile 23-year-old from relegated club | OneFootball

Arsenal are reportedly eyeing up a potential transfer move for Las Palmas defender Mika Marmol this summer.

The Gunners could perhaps do with more depth in defence amid some uncertainty around players who aren’t currently regulars in Mikel Arteta’s side.

Marmol can play centre-back or left-back, so could be a useful signing if players like Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jakub Kiwior and Takehiro Tomiyasu end up moving on.

It’s not currently clear if all three of those names mentioned will leave, but it still seems that Marmol is on Arsenal’s radar anyway, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.

The 23-year-old is a fine young talent who previously came up through Barcelona’s academy, and one imagines he could soon earn himself a move back to a bigger club.

Marmol could also make sense as an opportunity for Arsenal at the moment due to the fact that Las Palmas have just been relegated from La Liga.

That surely means they’re going to find it tricky to keep hold of their key players like Marmol, while the Fichajes report also claims that Arsenal are interested in another of their players in the form of Alberto Moleiro.

Even if Las Palmas ultimately ended up going down, Marmol is widely recognised as having impressed for the club this season, so he looks like a solid option for AFC and other big names to consider.
