Arsenal ‘confirm’ first departure

Emerging report reveals that Arsenal are willing to let goalkeeper David Ospina leave the club in the January transfer window to Italian side Napoli.

Ospina has been a third choice goalkeeper at the Emirates Stadium since the coming of Bernd Leno from Beyer Leverkusen in the summer transfer window.

There is no doubt that manager Unai Emery has no plan for the 30-year-old especially with the form of Petr Cech and the German goalkeeper, making the hope of seeing Ospina slim.

The Colombia international has been with the Italian outfit on loan but there are reports according to The Sun that he would be sold permanently having impressed in his first 10 appearances under manager Carlo Ancelotti.

The report claims that the North London side are willing ling to offload Ospina for a cut-price fee of £3.3 million in the winter window.

Meanwhile, the goalkeeper does not have any wish to of returning to the Emirates Stadium especially with the current situation where he does not have any role to play in the setting available at the moment.

The goalkeeper crisis Arsenal suffered last season seem to have been settled with the coming of the German stopper as he has brought a level of competition that has awakened the former Chelsea number 1.
