Arsenal already have two defensive signings already on the way in Sokratis and Stephan Lichtsteiner.

With an Aaron Ramsey extension looking more and more likely, and the club being sorted in attack, a goalkeeper seems the most important signing.

Petr Cech is 35 years old and David Ospina is widely believed to be leaving the club this summer.
