Arsenal fans are confused over why they are being linked with Alphonse Areola.

Areola is set to leave PSG in the summer, with Mundo Deportivo claiming that Arsenal are among the clubs interested in the French stopper.

But Gunners supporters don’t understand why Mikel Arteta would be looking for a goalkeeper.

Arsenal already have Bernd Leno in goal and the German has been one of their top performers this term.

Leno has made a number of eye-catching saves, and has proven to be very reliable during his time at Arsenal.

Areola is also a talented goalkeeper, but with Arteta operating on a limited budget it would be a surprise to see the PSG man sign up.

Arsenal are far more likely to target strengthening other areas of their defence, as they look to tighten up at the back for next term.
