Saturday Rumour: Arsenal lead chase to sign Sunderland goalkeeper

Manuel Almunia has not been included in the touring party that leaves for the Far East on Sunday. This has raised speculation that Arsenal are ready to sell him and that they will be in the market for a new goalkeeper.

The number one goalkeeping target for Arsenal has emerged as Sunderland’s Scottish international Craig Gordon. Arsenal have been keeping a close eye on the goalkeeper in a bid to bring him in as the new number one or atleast to compete against Szczesny.

Some fans do not believe Arsenal need a new goalkeeper and that Szczesny should be given the chance to fully prove himself as a top class goalkeeper.

But Gordon has all the experience we need right now. Signing him will be a big boost to the squad. Gordon has been plagued by injuries but he seems to have gotten over them now and if he is fully fit, he is one of the best keeps in the league.

Do you think Wenger should go after Gordon as the new number one?
