Napoli contemplate move for Arsenal man Ospina

Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina has reportedly emerged as a potential target for Napoli.

The Colombian international is now the third choice goalkeeper at the Emirates following the arrival of Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen and it seems a departure before the end of the month is likely.

Ospina has been heavily linked with a move to Turkey in recent weeks, with Besiktas having been named as potential suitors.

However, according to new claims from Italian news outlet Di Marzio, Napoli have joined the race as they look to complete the signing of a new goalkeeper ahead of next season.

Napoli are understood to be closing in on the signing of experienced Mexico international Guillermo Ochoa from Standard Liege, however, Ospina has been lined up as a contingency plan.

Leno and Petr Cech look set to battle it out for the starting place between the sticks next term, and it seems Ospina is edging ever closer to an exit from Arsenal, as Napoli join the race for his signature.
