Imminent Arsenal arrival to force 29-year-old into summer exit

The imminent arrival of Bernd Leno at Arsenal is set to bring an end to David Ospina’s time at the club.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, as cited by the Daily Star, both Fenerbahce and Tigres are considering moves for the Colombian international.

Ospina has largely been playing back-up to Petr Cech since his time at the club, but Leno’s arrival will see him fall further down the pecking order.

The German is set to join from Bayer Leverkusen and become the club’s new number one, which will see game time become even harder for Ospina.

Arsenal have agreed a £20 million deal with the Bundesliga outfit ahead of a summer move.

Ospina was limited to just 21 appearances in all competitions last season, only five of which came in the Premier League.

Arsene Wenger opted to rotate goalkeepers in the Europa League last season, where Ospina saw the majority of his football.
