Alphonse Areola was born on 27 February 1993 and plays as a goalkeeper for the France national football team. He graduated from the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) academy and went on multiple loan stints.
He has represented the likes of RC Lens, Bastia, Villareal, Real Madrid, Fulham, current club West Ham United and off-course PSG themselves. He was also part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup winning squad.
He has got strong hands and hence, the ability to stop powerful shots even from long range. However, the 29-year-old is not the first-choice shot stopper for his club as well as the national team.
Current form:
Areola has featured in 11 games across all competitions so far, conceding 9 goals. In the process, he also kept 5 clean sheets but has played only two Premier League games this season.
World Cup record:
The goalkeeper is yet to make an appearance in a World Cup game. He was part of the 2018 squad but was the third-choice name behind Hugo Lloris and Steve Mandanda. He was yet to make his national team debut at that time.
Overall stats:
For the national team, Areola has played five games, keeping three clean sheets. For various clubs, he has featured in a total of 295 games and kept 121 clean sheets.
What’s next for Alphonse Areola?
With Hugi Lloris being in the squad and having the armband, Alphonse Areola will not be the first-choice goalkeeper at the showpiece event. However, any injury or unseen circumstances might allow him to get a game.
