Alberto Moleiro González (born 30 September 2003) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UD Las Palmas as winger or attacking midfielder.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Moleiro joined UD Las Palmas' youth setup in 2018, from CD Sobradillo.[2][3] Initially assigned to the Juvenil C squad, he subsequently represented the Juvenil B and the Juvenil A squads[4] before making his senior debut with the reserves on 15 December 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–4 Segunda División B away loss against Coruxo FC.[5]

Moleiro made his first team debut at the age of just 17 on 15 August 2021, replacing Maikel Mesa in a 1–1 home draw against Real Valladolid in the Segunda División championship.[6] He scored his first professional goal on 11 September, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against UD Ibiza.[7]

International career

[edit]

Moleiro first appeared with the Spain under-19 team in September 2021, in two friendlies against Mexico.[8] He scored his first goal for the side on 16 November, in a 6–0 rout of Azerbaijan.[9]

Style of play

[edit]

Despite being often compared to fellow Las Palmas youth graduate Pedri,[10][11] Moleiro plays in a more advanced role as an attacking midfielder. Rather small in height, he is praised for his verticality, capacity to associate with teammates and shooting ability.[3][12]
