Arsenal are reportedly planning a double swoop for Celta Vigo midfielder Williot Swedberg and Las Palmas forward Alberto Moleiro, according to Caught Offside.
Swedberg, who joined Celta Vigo a couple of years ago, has been used as a rotational player in recent seasons but has started this campaign strongly, contributing to five goals in as many La Liga appearances. Meanwhile, Moleiro has been a key figure for Las Palmas, scoring four goals in 12 league starts this term, and even helped secure a draw against Real Madrid by scoring in that match.
Caught Offside claims that Arsenal are keen on both players, with scouts closely monitoring their performances ahead of a potential move. Moleiro has a £50m release clause in his current contract, but with less than two years remaining on his deal, he could be available for a reduced fee next year if he doesn’t sign an extension.
Swedberg, valued at around £4m by Transfermarkt, has over two and a half years left on his contract with Celta Vigo, meaning Arsenal could potentially secure both players at an affordable price next year. However, the move won’t be straightforward, as there is reported interest from several top clubs, including Newcastle United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Real Sociedad, Real Betis, Roma, and Villarreal. That said, Arsenal are currently in a strong position to land the duo, alongside the Magpies.
Swedberg is a versatile player who can operate on both wings and in various central midfield roles, while Moleiro primarily plays as a left-sided forward but is also capable of featuring as an attacking midfielder.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will make a formal approach to sign the 20-year-old Swedberg and 21-year-old Moleiro next year as part of their squad strengthening plans.
