The search for a new number one goalkeeper at Arsenal goes on, the club have lined up a move for Chelsea’s Petr Cech as many outlets are reporting, but there is one stumbling block which could prevent the deal from taking place, Jose Mourinho. Mourinho is known for extremely judicious in his transfer policies and if he feels that a rival club could benefit from the deal, he would be the first one to pull the plug on the transfer. It isn’t to say that he would not listen to Cech’s wish if he does want to move to another club but no one knows what Jose is thinking.
Cech might not be available so easily for Arsenal, so we try to come up with 3 alternatives who could step up in the Red of Arsenal this season.
Iker Casillas
The 34-year-old Real Madrid legend could be one his way to being replaced by the young hotshot David De Gea from Manchester United. St. Iker, as he is so fondly called in Spain, hasn’t had the greatest of times since Jose Mourinho took over the club and although he was restored in the team this season, he hasn’t been at his best at Madrid. A new scenery, new challenge and playing in a new team could be just the thing that Casillas needs to get him going again. When he was at his best, he was probably the best goalkeeper in Spain, if not in Europe and that is saying a lot when you have competition from the likes of Buffon and Neuer.
