Arsenal Are Not Providing Szczesny Real Competition?

According to the Express, Arsenal are looking to add to their goalkeeping personnel, but may face disappointment as the target, Espanyol goalkeeper Kiko Casilla has confirmed that the stopper will stay at the club for at least another season.

The Gunners are out of running for the Barclays Premier League, and face a tough battle from Everton for the fourth and final UEFA Champions League berth. The only possible trophy is the FA Cup, and Arsenal face Hull City in the final of the competition next month. Arsenal have never failed to qualify for the Champions League, and an absence next season could lead to a Man United like disaster.


Arsenal have never felt truly competitive in the goalkeeping situation in the first team. Wojciech Szczesny has officially earned the tag of the number one, but has not adequately been challenged for the spot. Casilla has played for the Real Madrid B and C side in his career, and is performing at the peak of his career. The keeper would look for assurances on a spot in the starting eleven, something Szczesny has made his own up to now.
