Ospina’s Dad wants permanent Napoli move

Hernan Ospina, the father of on-loan Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina, wants to see his son complete a permanent move to Naples in the near future.

Speaking to Radio Marte, as cited on Calciomercato, the goalkeeper’s father talked up a permanent move following a run of first-team football.

We hope he stays in Naples, because he is happy and has rediscovered space after the Arsenal benches, and I hope he can be the protagonist in blue because he is good in Naples.

Ospina joined Napoli on loan in the summer in what was a surprise move, but he since been a regular in their starting XI.

The Serie A side were looking to replace Pepe Reina, who left for Milan and wanted an experienced shot-stopper in between the post.

The Colombian had fallen even further down the pecking order at Arsenal over the summer due to the arrival of Bernd Leno.

After joining from Bayer Leverkusen, Leno made Ospina third-choice at the Emirates, meaning game time would have been few and far between in London.
