It’s starting to look more and more like Arsenal will need to find a new goalkeeper for the number one position this summer, so who are the options to replace him?
At the weekend, Petr Čech made another couple of errors leading to goals, bringing him to six for the season and blowing his Bitwin Bitcoin bonus code 2018. That’s more than any other player in Europe’s top 5 leagues this season.
Considering Arsenal’s defensive frailty, they can’t afford to have a goalkeeper making as many mistakes as the players in front of him.
Here are six options to take over from the 35-year-old in the coming window:
4Jack Butland
- Current club: Stoke City
- Age: 24
- Contract until: 2021
- Estimated value: £16.2m
Jack Butland is constantly linked with a move to the Emirates, even though his performances haven’t been so impressive this season.
The England international has struggled with Stoke recently, although that’s largely the fault of his teammates.
The side sit 19th in the league, so it’s probably unfair to judge him too harshly on this campaign.
Then again, the own goal he scored recently didn’t do him any favours.
Nonetheless, he’s an experienced Premier League goalkeeper, and no one else in the competition can boast more saves this season than him.
