Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing the Atletico Madrid stopper.
According to Spanish media outlet AS, Arsenal have made contact with Atletico Madrid regarding the possibility of signing Jan Oblak in the summer.
The goalkeeping position at the Emirates is one of real concern for Gunners fans, with Petr Cech well past his best and David Ospina quite simply nowhere near good enough.
The 25-year-old has a huge release clause of €100 million (£88.1 million) inserted into his current contract with the La Liga side, so he will certainly not come cheap.
Good signing for Arsenal?
Standing at 6ft 3in tall, the Slovenian possesses an imposing physique, and has the ability to command his penalty area with authority – something that the Gunners have desperately lacked in recent seasons.
Oblak, 25, is arguably one of the top three goalkeepers in the world, and he still has plenty of years ahead of him at the very highest level.
Whilst £88.1 million seems like an astronomical amount of money to pay for a goalkeeper, the points that he would undoubtedly save the Gunners would make the fee totally worthwhile, and he could be the signing that helps Arsenal return to former glories.
