Unai Emery is “in a hurry” to sign goalkeeper Keylor Navas from Real Madrid, according to El Confidencial.
The Arsenal manager is rumoured to be eyeing up a deal for the Costa Rica international in January.
The report states that Emery is not convinced by summer signing Bernd Leno, with the German’s late mistake away to Southampton last Sunday leading to a 3-2 defeat.
Navas is suffering a frustrating time of things in Madrid, with Thibaut Courtois now the undisputed first-choice ‘keeper.
The 32-year-old is valued at around €14million (£12.6million) and Arsenal could make a surprise swoop.
Whether or not the board meet Emery’s request remains to be seen, but it would be a blow for Leno.
He only arrived prior to the start of this season, and if the report is true, it would appears as though Emery has lost faith very quickly.
It is a move that makes sense for Navas, with more regular football than he is currently enjoying likely.
He has made just two La Liga appearances for the European champions this season.
