Arsenal to rival Manchester clubs for Satalino

Arsenal are believed to be interested in Fiorentina’s 16-year-old goalkeeper Giacamo Satalino, as a potential future replacement for Petr Cech.

The Gunners managed to seal the deal for Cech in the summer in a deal worth roughly £10m and he looks like a player who will continue to be one of the best for a few more seasons.

However, he will not be around for many more years after his contract ends in 2019, with the Czech international already 33 years of age.

Satalino has attracted attention from the likes of both Manchester sides, who seem keen to sign the talented youngster, but Arsenal are favourites for his signature, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

The north London side do still have Wojciech Szczesny and Emiliano Martinez on their books, but neither are anywhere near the standard of Cech and seem likely to move on at the ends of their contracts.

Szczesny is currently at Roma and playing well and may make his transfer permanent in the summer according to reports in Italy.
