Zaragoza signings: Lalo Arantegui confirms Escudero and Gabilondo

Zaragoza will make official the signings of full-backs Jokin Gabilondo and Sergio Escudero between tomorrow and Friday, who arrive from Málaga and Deportivo, respectively, with a free transfer.

What happened?

The sporting director Lalo Arantegui has closed this morning the last details of both signings and is already in the process of exchanging the signing of the contracts, waiting for both players, who are on vacation, to pass the mandatory medical examination before the start of the preseason.

Why is it important for Zaragoza?

These signings are important for the Aragonese team, which is looking to improve its position in the Segunda División. Last season, Zaragoza finished in 22nd place, with 36 points, 8 wins, 12 draws and 22 losses in 42 games.

What's next?

Zaragoza is also maintaining its interest in Jorge Miramón, who could reinforce the right flank. However, the operation is not easy, as he still has a year left with the Cypriot AEK Larnaca.

What is the current context?

Last season, Zaragoza scored 35 goals and conceded 59, with a goal difference of -24. The team is 46 points behind the leader, Racing Santander. In their last 5 games, Zaragoza has obtained 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.
