A. Areola is a 33-year-old goalkeeper at West Ham, rated 26.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 402nd of 418 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (52.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Areola.
Judged on this season alone, Areola graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 29 of the 29 goalkeepers in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 26th of 29 of the 29 goalkeepers in the Premier League. At 33 Areola is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 18.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4 clean sheets in 20 appearances (20% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
With a Rating of 26.3, Areola carries the 26th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier League of 29, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (West Ham finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~53), then tapers with age. At 33, Areola sits on 18.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Areola's projected Rating — 26.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
