Besiktas president: David Ospina will stay at Arsenal

Arsenal shit-stopper David Ospina has been linked with January move to Besiktas

 

DAVID OSPINA is unlikely to leave Arsenal in the January transfer window, claims Beskitas president Fikret Orman.

 

The Colombia international, who signed for the Gunners from French outfit Nice in 2014, has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium after falling down the pecking order since the £10million arrival of Petr Cech from Chelsea in the summer. 

Ospina is believed to want more regular game time, which Besiktas will provide him with, but it is understood Arsene Wenger is reluctant to part ways with the shot stopper.

 

Turkish outfit Besiktas have openly confirmed their interest in Ospina, who they also tried to sign in the summer, but Orman insists a deal in January will not be struck for Arsenal's second-choice keeper. 

“Yes of course we want David Ospina but winter transfers are tough and Arsenal do not want to sell their second choice keeper right now," Orman told Habertuk.

 

There is a possibility of striking a loan deal but that looks unlikely with Wojciech Szczesny already at Roma until the end of the season. 

Ospina has made just three appearances for Arsenal this season with none of them coming in the Premier League.
