Marco Palestra could be a useful addition
Palestra has proven to be a reliable defender and will continue to be very effective. He could add a new dimension to Arsenal or Tottenham’s defense.

Meanwhile, Pedro Polo has been linked with a move from Tottenham. They would need to properly replace the Spaniard if he decides to move on. Signing with the Palestra could be a smart move. The 20-year-old certainly has the technical qualities of English football and could be an important player for Arsenal or Tottenham in the long term.
Palestra moving to Premier League?
This defender is very young and has plenty of room to grow. Arsenal or Tottenham could develop him into a future star. The opportunity to move to England is attractive to the young defender and he wants to decide on his future soon so he can focus on his football again.
Other clubs are also keeping an eye on the young defender and the London club should aim to move quickly if they want to win the race for him.
