ALPHONSE AREOLA
Goalkeeper · West Ham · Premier League
“A composed, experienced shot-stopper entering the veteran phase of his career.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Areola remains a veteran goalkeeper with clear value: his West Ham form still informs the case, but he is not a locked-in starter and his league context tempers the price. Reliable, not unquestioned.

Analysis overview
Areola operates as a traditional, positioning-first goalkeeper who reads play ahead of trouble. He's economical in his movement, relying on sound footwork and intelligent angles rather than spectacular athleticism. His game is built on consistency and the kind of institutional calm that steadies defenses.
