Should Arsenal Focus Their Attention On Real Rather Than Chelsea?

Should Arsenal Focus Their Attention On Real Rather Than Chelsea?

Arsenal will have to make a decision regarding who they will be going after this summer. Picking the right keeper is a difficult task even for the more experienced managers such as Wenger. The biggest problem is that nothing is certain regarding who is available or not. There are a lot of elements included in the equation, elements that could trigger a chain reaction. The main people to have in their sights right now are Cech, Handanovic, Casillas and most recently, Keylor Navas. The piece that could trigger the changes is De Gea whose future is going to influence all the other keepers mentioned above. If the Spaniard leaves for Real Madrid, the following scenarios could go down:

  1. De Gea joins Real, Cech goes to Manchester United, Casillas or Navas leave probably for Arsenal while Handanovic could end up at Chelsea.
  2. De Gea stays with Manchester, Cech refuses to join London rivals and leaves for Turkey while all the others stay in their place.
  3. De Gea leaves for Real, Cech leaves for Turkey, Handanovic comes to Arsenal and Casillas joins Inter while Valdes takes over as United’s number 1.

Either way, Arsenal will need a new keeper as for some reason Szczęsny seems to have lost form and fallen out of favour. According to Metro, Keylor Navas is now being targeted by Wenger who probably knows best. The Costa Rican may well be the best way to go because he is really determined and quite willing to work his way into the number 1 position.
