Arsenal Star On Verge Of Emirates Exit, Snubs Euro Giants For Besiktas

Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina is keen on a move to Besiktas this summer after snubbing Napoli and Sevilla according to Colombian journalist Esteban Jaramillo.

Jaramillo tweeted that Ospina is nearing a signature with the Black Eagles over Sevilla and Napoli.

Ospina is likely to leave Arsenal after being relegated to third-choice keeper following the transfer of Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen over the summer.

The Colombian international was linked with a summer exit last season as well but Arsene Wenger managed to keep him on with the promise of cup competition football.

Ospina would be unlikely to receive such assurances next term under the stewardship of recently appointed manager Unai Emery.

The latest report comes as a surprise.

Fenerbahce were closely linked with Ospina and have been since last summer but after renewing terms with Volkan Demirel and signing wonderkid keeper Berke Ozer from Altinordu they have focused transfer efforts on signing a striker.

Besiktas keeper Fabri has been linked with a summer exit. Should Ospina join it would signal that the Spanish keeper is likely to leave.

It would be unlikely that the Super Lig outfit keep on both keepers.
