Scout report
A. Areola is a 33-year-old goalkeeper at West Ham, rated 26.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 362nd of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (52.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Areola.
Judged on this season alone, Areola graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 23rd of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the Premier League. At 33 Areola is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · West Ham finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4 clean sheets in 20 appearances (20% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.3, Areola carries the 23rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier League of 26, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (West Ham finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
