Arsenal sure to announce signature of 22-year-old Serie A star

English Premier League outfit Arsenal are sure to snap up the signature of Italian Serie A outfit Sampdoria goalkeeper Emil Audero as they are already in advanced talks, according to a Sky Sports report.

The North London outfit have been told they will have to secure a new stopper after legendary stopper Petr Cech announced his decision to hang his boot at the end of the season.

Emil Audero, 22 is having an impressive loan spell at the Italian outfit from Juventus but he is set to be recalled should the North London side land an agreement with Juventus before the end of the winter window.

• Who is to blame if Arsenal fail to secure any January deal

So far this season, Emil Audero has kept eight clean sheets with the 20 Serie A appearances under his belt, a record that one can hardly come by, especially in the Arsenal team

However, the Gunners are expected to make an offer in coming days while the Italian champions are hoping they can land Man United stopper David De Gea so that Emil Audero can be released.

Meanwhile, David De Gea is yet to sign a contract extension at the Old Trafford which makes him available for the Old Lady at the end of the season.
