Another 'off the cuff' rumor but do you know of any interest from Arsenal in Kepa Arrizabalaga? Strong paper links to Real Madrid and a young GK is something we surely have to look for ASAP! Cech is long past it now.

Replacing a key player before he retires or goes. Naaaaaa.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - To answer the previous question, Kepa Arrizabalaga was one of three GKs that Arsenal were considering as long-term replacements for Petr Cech. However, we have now entered 2018 and my expectation is that Real Madrid will look to firm up a deal ensuring Athletic get reasonable compensation before any foreign side arrives looking for a pre-contract.}

Can you share the other two potential GKs? Thanks as always.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Keylor Navas (looking unlikely right now) and Peter Gulacsi (won't happen).}

Thanks for the quick response. Really hope they find some new targets then.

Thanks for providing some info there. Do feel we need to get another gk In. I don't always feel confident in cech.

Thanks for the response to that! We do need to replace Cech. He's clearly not the keeper he once was! You can't keep everyone until they retire can you what a load of rubbish haha.

I heard we’ve offered Gunnersaurus a contract to play as keeper. Homegrown too so that’s a plus.

I wonder if any teams are looking at Jack Butland currently? I really rate him and can see someone bigger coming in for him sooner rather than later (would love to see him play for us) , and with Stokes current position perhaps a move away is becoming more attractive to him?

Hi Ed's,

I asked a few weeks ago about Leon Bailey and any interest from Arsenal, as I was told by someone that we were keen. At the time you said that the interest being shown wasn't from Arsenal, do you know if that has changed recently?

Hope you all had a good Christmas and New year!

{Ed002's Note - One English side spoke to Bayer Leverkusen about Leon Bailey and were told he was not for sale in January. The club has recently confirmed that there have been no offers for him.}
