    Arsenal goal-keeper David Ospina to join Napoli

    What's the story

    Arsenal's 29 year old goal-keeper David Ospina has signed for the Italian club, Napoli, on a season-long loan.

    Not being high on the list of Emery's preferred players, the Colombian international might get more game time at Carlo Ancelotti's Napoli.

    Arsenal already have their regular goal-keeper Peter Cech. Further, they have also signed Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen.

    Here's more.

    Career

    Ospina's career at Arsenal FC

    David Ospina had arrived at Arsenal for £3 mn from Nice in 2014 and has started in 27 Premier League matches.

    He made a total of 70 appearances for the club, winning two FA Cups during his stay.

    His 2014-15 season, at the club, was the best when during league appearances against Manchester City and Aston Villa, he managed to keep clean sheets.

    Napoli

    Napoli were in need of a goal-keeper after Meret's injury

    Napoli's newly signed goal-keeper Alex Meret had suffered an injury during training, which will keep him out of action for a while.

    Signing Ospina was a desperate attempt to secure a goal-keeper before the Serie A kicks off.

    Meret has, reportedly, suffered a fracture in his ulna during training when he collided with youngster Francesco Mezzoni.
