The Dutch goalkeeper that Arsenal must sign

Arsenal still need to sign a new and experienced goalkeeper, that is my opinion. We all know how useless Almunia is and although Szczesny seems to be a great talent and one for the future, we need someone to come in now and be our established number one goalkeeper.

All great teams are built on the foundation of a good keeper, just look at the success we had with David Seaman in goal. Now there are not too many good goalkeepers on the market today. We had tried to get Pepe Reina from Liverpool but that did not quite work out.

Now Manchester United were another club after a goalkeeper and they managed to get David De Gea but I think they were dumb in not pursuing the Dutch number one, Maarten Stekelenburg. The Ajax keeper is rated as one of the best in the world and it is understood now that he is keen on a move to the Premier League according to talkSPORT.

Since United has a new keeper, they will not be after him, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool all have goalkeepers so they are not in the market for one so that only leaves us as a viable destination for Stekelenburg.

Roma are another club keeping a close eye on the 28 year old stopper but nothing concrete has come out of that deal. I believe that Wenger should step up his efforts in signing Stekelenburg and then we can build our defence around him.
