By Aarón Escandell, the new goalkeeper for UD Las Palmas, expressed his excitement during his official presentation about joining the yellow team and their significant project upon their return to the top tier of Spanish football. Emphasizing his lack of pressure, he aims to contribute and work as an essential part of the team, supporting his teammates and striving to achieve their objectives.
Reflecting on his first week with the club, Escandell shared a positive experience. His early involvement in the friendlies, notably his debut in Marbella shortly after the signing announcement, facilitated a quick integration into the team dynamics, making the transition smoother.
The decision to choose Unión Deportiva was driven by the club’s compelling project and solid game model, making it an attractive prospect for the Valencian goalkeeper. He admires their possession-oriented style of play and their ability to build from the back, considering it a notable advantage.
The 27-year-old shot-stopper’s arrival in Las Palmas came after prolonged negotiations between UD Las Palmas and his former club, FC Cartagena. Now, he faces competition for the starting spot from Álvaro Valles, a talented goalkeeper from Seville, following the departure of Álex Domínguez to Toulouse in France.
With his focus on supporting the team, integrating seamlessly, and aiming for a successful season, Escandell is eager to play a pivotal role in UD Las Palmas’ journey back to prominence in Spanish football’s top flight. His dedication and commitment to the club’s vision bode well for both him and the team, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
