Napoli chief confirms talks with Arsenal goalkeeper Ospina

Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina has held talks with Napoli as he closes in on a move away from the Gunners.

The Italian club’s president, Aurelio de Laurentiis, revealed his interest in the Colombia international following an injury to new number one Alex Meret, who broke his arm in training just six days after signing last month.

The Italian transfer window will close on Friday, one day ahead of the new Serie A season, so Napoli will have to move fast to get a deal over the line.

Liverpool's Simon Mignolet and Mexico international Guillermo Ochoa have also been targeted by last season's runners-up in Italy, but is Ospina who is now likeliest to arrive in Naples.
