The factory for the promotion of young talents does not stop at the Las Palmas Sports Union after the recent successes with the appearance of footballers who have attracted the attention of big clubs such as Pedri, Josep Martínez or Alberto Moleiro. In this preseason there are up to seven homegrown players who have sneaked in by surprise in the preparation of the new season of the yellow team in the Second Division.
Coming from its first subsidiary, Las Palmas Atlético, from Las Palmas C and even from the Juvenil División de Honor, the new batch of youth squads is beginning to stand out in the matches that the Unión Deportiva is playing at its stage in Marbella. Of all of them, Ale Lever He is perhaps the one who is awakening the best sensations and who could have the most options to make a definitive niche in García Pimienta’s plans.
Palanca is a right-back, only 19 years old, who had already been attracting attention in the lower categories of Las Palmas for several seasons since his incorporation at cadet age and who in his third youth year has ended up exploding, being fundamental in the yellow Division of Honor that has once again lifted the league title. With a well-developed physique for his age, Palanca stands out mainly in the offensive aspect, being a side with a lot of presence in the rival area that provides solutions both in interior actions and reaching the bottom line. In addition, in his last season he showed ease in front of goal, reaching almost ten goals from his position in the right lane.
Based on the doubts presented by the Unión Deportiva Las Palmas in this demarcation with the possible departures of Ale Diez and Alvaro Lemos, García Pimienta has not hesitated to make room for Palanca in the two preparatory games played so far and the young footballer is responding with a note on green. Of all those who participate, he seems to be the one with the most numbers to give continuity to his participation with the elders.
Another footballer who has also left a pleasant taste in the mouth is the attacker pau ferrer. Valencian striker who arrived last January at the chain of yellow subsidiaries, he only needed the second round to confirm himself as one of the biggest base striker projects. Lanky, intelligent in unchecking and with a wide range of finishing resources in front of goal, Pau is another of the players who could have minutes in a position where Las Palmas is still looking for players in the market.
Along with these two footballers, the goalkeeper has also traveled to Marbella Javi Cendón the end of Lanzarote Saliouwho stands out for his speed and one-on-one skill, the central defenders Cristian Abreu and Alvaro Santanaand the midfielder Julen Perez. Perhaps with fewer options to add minutes during the season, but all of them have shown during their time in lower categories to have the qualities to win the opportunity they now have to convince Pimienta.
What is clear, without a doubt, is that Las Palmas has once again looked towards its quarry this pre-season with the aim of finding a new blackbird to show on the national scene and continue producing a tremendous profitable model at a sporting and economic level.
