# Arsenal: Transfer target Alphonse Areola buys a house in London

**Alphonse Areola was reportedly a transfer target of Arsenal’s in the past, according to [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20200515/481147868062/neto-barca.html), and the latest social media post from his wife could be hinting that the goalkeeper may be on his way to a London club.**

Areola’s wife Marrion posted a photo on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3wotkoktz/) of the family outside a house in the capital of England, and she announced that the property is a new purchase.

The Paris Saint-Germain player has featured 107 times for the Ligue 1 giants, keeping a very impressive 53 clean sheets, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alphonse-areola/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/120629). However the last season he was[involved](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alphonse-areola/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/120629) in a swap deal with Spanish side Real Madrid in which PSG loaned in Keylor Navas and Areola went the other way.

This probably looked like a good move for the Frenchman at the time however across the season at Los Galacticos, Areola only managed to play nine times in all competitions and was seen as a back up goalkeeper, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alphonse-areola/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/120629).

The [£11.70 million valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alphonse-areola/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/120629) goalkeeper will want to be playing football and this new property in London could possibly hint at the fact that he is preparing for a move to a club in the area. With the [recent form](https://www.sofascore.com/player/emiliano-martinez/158263) of Emiliano Martinez, such a move would be seem very unfair on the Argentinian, whilst the Gunners also have Bernd Leno on their books.

Nevertheless, the fact that a transfer target of the club has moved to London could be a hint towards a potential move.
