Arsene Wenger: Arsenal’s number one is……?

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has discussed the current situation surrounding the keeper spot at the club and said that Wojciech Szczesny remains number one.

David Ospina replaced Polish keeper Szczesny in the starting eleven recently after the latter was caught smoking in the dressing room after the match against Southampton in January.

Wenger, who signed Ospina last summer has been impressed with the keeper after he kept four cleen sheets in a row, but remained strong on the fact that Szczesny was still the club’s number one keeper.

“David Ospina has had some time to settle because he was injured when he arrived here,” Wenger told the London Evening Standard.

“During that time we could see his dedication, his focus and his quality. He’s in a fight with Wojciech Szczesny to start at the moment.

“Wojciech is the number one but David has played recently. Can he retain the shirt in the coming games? We’ll decide that. I don’t forget Emiliano Martinez either, who I rate highly. We have three top goalkeepers and the fight for who starts is going on.”
