Arsenal fans didn’t really give David Ospina a proper chance at The Emirates. The Colombian number one has racked up 91 caps for his country, yet at Arsenal he never got a chance as number one and now, according to various outlets including football.london he looks set to leave permanently for Napoli in a deal worth around £3 million.

Arsenal fans are currently loving life at the moment with Bernd Leno as their number one man between the sticks. The German shot-stopper signed from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer and whilst he had to wait a few weeks to get an opportunity at The Emirates when Petr Cech was sidelined with injury Leno took his chance and he’s yet to look back since being afforded that chance.
Unai Emery seems to be content with having Cech and Leno fighting it out for the number one shirt at the club, leaving little opportunity for Ospina at the club. The Colombian was shipped out on-loan to Napoli in the Serie A and so far he’s impressed for his new club, showing exactly what Arsenal are missing as he’s shone both domestically and in the Champions League under Carlo Ancelotti.

Great feet in the ball and handling but I think we need to sell and use money elsewhere . We have got the defence and wingers to sort out

The Gunners aren’t going to stand in Ospina’s way of a permanent move and will just wish that he’d shown more promise in the Premier League.
