Arsenal keeper Ospina eyes South America return as Napoli switch turns sour

Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina has said a move back to South America is "a possibility" after Alex Meret's return to fitness left him frozen out at Napoli, where he arrived on loan at the start of the season.

The Colombia international has made 10 Serie A appearances for the Partenopei since joining on a season-long deal that gave Napoli the option to sign him permanently.

Ospina made the switch to Stadio San Paolo when Meret broke his arm just six days after signing from Udinese for €22 million (£19m/$25m), but a clause in the loan deal means that Napoli will be obliged to sign him permanently if he continues to play.
